Mata Hari: Female Spy // 2 Aug
Hello Kitty // 5 Aug
Following performances in
the USA and immediately
before heading North for
the Edinburgh Fringe, you
can now enjoy this show in
Sussex. The Great War: while
millions of men struggle and
fight in the mud and hell of the
trenches, one woman’s story
begs to be told. Mata Hari, the
most notorious female spy in
history. Or was she? Dancer,
lover, confidante, courtesan,
contradiction and liar. Executed
in 1917, inspired by her own
words, this is her story… the
story of a set-up? With original
music by Danny Bright.
