Canned Goods Tickets

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough – it will be believed.”

It’s 1939. On the border between Germany and Poland, the shadow of fascism is inching closer. Hitler has a plan: stage a violent Polish attack on a German-speaking radio station, and use the attack to justify a Nazi invasion. But how do you pull off an act of deception designed to keep the UK from entering into a World War?

German farmer Franciszek Honiok finds himself arrested and imprisoned in a jail cell on the border. Alongside him are two prisoners from Dachau: a Jewish philosopher and a German janitor. As the mission looms closer and tensions build, the three men must wrestle with an impossible unknown. Can they survive a plan much bigger than themselves? And are they the ‘canned goods’ their captors keep discussing?

Making its London premiere after several critically acclaimed US runs, Canned Goods tells the gripping true story of a little-known – but pivotal – moment in history. Still relevant today, Erik Kahn’s edge-of-your seat thriller explores the knife edge of propaganda, ‘fake news’ and how those in power bend the truth for their own agenda.
