Operation M16 Brings The Secret World Of British Intelligence To P&J Live This November
Operation M16 will appear at P&J Live’s Hall C on Saturday 21st November 2026 and will give the audience a chance to discover what really happens behind the headlines, how are intelligence operations planned, how are agents recruited and how are threats identified, monitored and neutralised.
Guided by former MI6 intelligence officer Matthew Dunn, the show will take audiences inside the secretive world of Britain's foreign intelligence service in a gripping live theatre experience unlike any other. Through a live unfolding operation, dramatic recreations and real-world insight, you'll discover how intelligence officers think, operate and make decisions when the stakes couldn't be higher.
Combining theatre, live CCTV surveillance, aerial drone footage and expert commentary from someone who has lived it, Operation MI6 offers a rare glimpse into a world that few people ever get to see.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director at P&J Live, said, “As interest in true crime, documentaries and real-life investigative stories continues to grow, we’re delighted to welcome Operation MI6 to P&J Live this winter. Giving audiences a rare behind-the-scenes insight into the secretive world of MI6, the show promises a fascinating and immersive experience. We’re looking forward to welcoming Matthew Dunn and know he’ll deliver a compelling and unforgettable evening.”
