Behind Enemy Lines
A brand-new show telling the story of the women who worked as spies in occupied France during the Second World War.
Following extensive research, songwriter and storyteller Louise Jordan brings the women of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to life through original song, live music and storytelling.
After the fall of France in 1940, SOE was established by Winston Churchill to 'set Europe ablaze'. Transgressing gender expectations, these extraordinary women were trained in sabotage, subversion and silent killing. Thirty-nine women were infiltrated into Nazi occupied France and together their courage, daring, ingenuity and sacrifice helped defeat Nazi terror. Behind Enemy Lines will bring their stories to life...
Running time: 80mins + interval
