Extraordinary women whose courage, daring, ingenuity and sacrifice defeated Nazi terror.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.
Having toured across the UK and Europe since 2010, Louise became focussed on telling hidden women’s stories in 2015 with her one-person touring production ‘No Petticoats Here’. This was followed by ‘The Hard Way’ in 2018 and ‘Florence’ in 2020.
A former history teacher and youth worker, Louise has written songs for UK Parliament and the V&A Museum, appeared in UK Vogue, given talks for the National Trust, University of Oxford and Hampshire Police. The thread that underpins all of Louise’s work is her desire to challenge existing narratives around gender and power.
