Description
The thrilling true story of Florence Waren, an intrepid Jewish resistance fighter and dazzling showgirl leading a perilous double life in WW2. Working fearlessly for the French resistance by day, Florence takes to the stage alongside icons Edith Piaf and Josephine Baker, every night at the infamous Bal Tabarin. Written by Florence’s relative, the 'breathtakingly skilful ensemble' (BBC Scotland) jump cut between worlds bursting with bravery, family and feather boas. With their trademark high production values, the 'superbly multi-talented' (**** (Scotsman)) Young Pleasance present their modern take on the glitz, glamour and glare of wartime Paris.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

I look out for this group each year and am always impressed by the choreography and the performance of the young cast and their director. This is an interesting story within a story about the unknown history and activity of a brave Grandmother during the war, which only comes to light when her grandchildren examine the contents of her old suitcase. Well done to everybody. Will look out for you again next year.
