Operation Greenfield

Operation Greenfield is a heady mix of Christian imagery, live rock music and hectic stage direction. At its heart is the story of four middle-England teenagers coming together to form a band, with inevitable rifts, friendships and rivalries.

But the show is marred by moments lacking explanation, including a bizarrely incongruous lesbian kiss and an appearance from Elvis Presley. Adding to the general chaos, the experimental direction and colourful clutter of props keep the stage very busy visually. 

Musically the cast deliver a strong performance, with a solid set of catchy numbers, but the affected strangeness of the production distracts from an endearing story and enjoyable music.

Despite revelling in its own unorthodoxy, Operation Greenfield remains bright and unashamedly positive.
