The World Premiere Season of this amazing historical play.

Synopsis: When the Germans invade France, Nancy Wake, as a rich socialite housewife, can’t just sit back and do nothing. Despite her French husband Henri Fiocca’s objections, she gets involved with the resistance. For Nancy it’s a slippery slope and soon she graduates from delivering letters to breaking men out of concentration camps. Forced to flee the country with the Gestapo and Vichy on her heals, she is lead to safety over the Pyrenees Mountains. Nancy, however, isn’t satisfied with a quiet life back in England and requests quickly to be sent back into the fight. After training, the SOE drop Nancy back into France and into one of the Marquis camps, a guerrilla group of Frenchmen still fighting the Germans, which lead to her being made the Gestapo's most wanted woman: known as White Mouse.

At the end of the war though, when France is finally free, the audience and Nancy learn just how much she sacrifices by fighting for what she believes in.

Nancy is the most highly decorated Allied servicewoman of the 2nd World War. Born in New Zealand, growing up in Sydney, she lived to 98 years of age.
