SUMMARY:Wartime Women: The Khaki Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:The actress and singer Fiona-Jane presents plays homage to the courageous women of wartime Britain in Wartime Women\, an affectionate tribute with song\, poetry\, and personal accounts from real women of the time. \nIn recognition of the women who fought for both country and women’s rights\, Fiona-Jane brings to life the stories of women in WWII and other heroines in a special one-woman show as a part of the exhibition Fighting On All Fronts: Women At War in AntikBar gallery. \nYears of extensive research into the lives of women during World War Two led Fiona-Jane to present this emotive yet entertaining show.

They made munitions\, worked the land\, and performed daring acts of espionage behind enemy lines. Things would never be the same again! \nThe celebrated mistress of dramatic cabaret\, Fiona-Jane Weston\, often moving and frequently funny re-creates the excitement of times that changed our world forever.\nFiona-Jane Weston is an actress\, singer\, writer and producer of small scale shows. Her solo shows have played to packed houses at The Other Palace\, The Pheasantry\, Crazy Coqs (Brasserie Zèdel)\, and national and overseas tours. \nFiona-Jane has received rave reviews for her unique take on historical themes and key events in history\, most notably women’s history. Her highly acclaimed shows include Wartime Women\, looking at the roles women have historically played in warfare and Looking For Lansbury\, celebrating the life\, heritage and extraordinary career of Dame Angela Lansbury\, and musical chat show Fiona-Jane and West End Friends.\nAntikBar\, the original vintage poster specialist\, will be holding an exhibition focusing on the role of women during World War Two featuring posters issued by both Allied and Axis powers\, mainly the UK\, USA\, USSR and some Nazi-occupied countries.
