No Petticoats Here.Louise Jordan, Rubato

Critically acclaimed composer, musician and singer Louise Jordan performs No Petticoats Here – a collection of original songs telling the stories of real-life inspirational women from the First World War. Based on extensive research and combining live and recorded sound, this show promises to be a theatre concert like no other; a rich visual and auditory experience that truly connects the audience with the past
'No Petticoats Here' tells the real life stories of varied and remarkable women of the Great War through song and was inspired by the story of Dorothy Lawrence; an orphan whose guardian lived in Salisbury Cathedral Close. Dorothy dressed as a soldier in order to visit the Western Front and pursue her journalistic ambitions. Louise quickly became fascinated by the stories of female ambulance drivers, scientists, footballers and spies.
