George Grant • Professional company

50 minutes•Fleming Theatre
Someone has dropped an atom bomb on Copenhagen! With all-out war looming, one junior minister in the British Government must somehow stimulate a response from his hopeless superiors. There’s just one thing standing in his way: Microsoft Teams. Welcome to Operation Blank, the subversive dark comedy debut from up-and-coming Scottish writer, George Grant. Delve into this biting critique of modern online working, that weaves laugh-out-loud humour to themes of unfulfillment and existential dread. It’s the show where nothing happens, and nothing has ever been more entertaining. Leading Light Prize nominee, Scottish Theatre Awards on the Fringe 2025.
