Passionate and Undying, Love Needs No Language in The World to Come
"There is something going on between us that I cannot unravel."
A Small and Quiet Light
October 1943. In a small office on the Avenue Foch in Paris, a Gestapo interrogator is questioning a young woman who has been known by many different names: Babuli, Jeanne-Marie, Nora, Madeleine. As one of the secret agents of Britain's Special Operations Executive –and the first female radio operator to be sent undercover into France– she has evaded capture far longer than most. But now she has been betrayed. As she faces the fate she has dreaded so long, memories crowd in – a beloved father, a thwarted lover, a gruelling journey to war, and an endless longing for her childhood piano. What has led her here? A Small and Quiet Light is based on the life of Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan (1914-1944), an extraordinarily courageous woman who paid the ultimate price for her heroic fight against fascism. Directed by Elin Scholfield, this filmed stage play was written by Stephanie Street and performed at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, London. UK.
