Behind Enemy Lines

Behind Enemy Lines uncovers the lives of the extraordinary women of Special Operations Executive 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 Louise Jordan’s fifth solo touring production. It brings together original songs, live music, storytelling, soundscape, acting and choreography.

The thread that underpins all of Louise’s work is her desire to challenge existing narratives around gender and power.
