Theatre and Physical Theatre
South Australia • World Premiere
In France’s darkest hour in World War II, it was an Australian woman who
helped turn the tide against the Germans. This is the story of Dame Nancy
Wake, fighter, lover and a force of nature, set during her time as a
leader of the French Resistance. From the writer of Kokoda etc and last
Fringe’s sell out theatre hit - The Loneliest Woman - comes another
brilliant expose of an extraordinary Australian drawing deep on their
reserves of courage and sense of duty to prevail against relentless foes.
Starring Emily Jo Davidson, Theon Ajax, Charles Herkes and Tim Cousins.
