Explore the lives of women secret agents who were infiltrated into Nazi occupied France during the Second World War. Join songwriter and theatre maker Louise Jordan on a whistle-stop tour of her research into the stories of the women of Special Operations Executive F-Section. 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?
