What it is

Extraordinary women whose courage, daring, ingenuity and sacrifice defeated Nazi terror.

Songwriter and storyteller Louise Jordan uncovers the lives of inspiring secret agents of WW2.

Who were they? How were they selected and trained to commit acts of sabotage, subversion and silent killing? Did they ultimately evade capture, torture and execution?

Behind Enemy Lines is a solo performance of live music, original songs, storytelling, soundscape, acting and choreography. Join Louise Jordan as she honours the inspirational lives of some of history’s lesser known women.
