Friday Twilight – 'Moon drop to France'

Potteries Museum & Art Gallery | Fri 21 Feb | 7pm-9pm 

Hear the incredible story of women who went behind enemy lines in World War Two as secret agents, to work as couriers and wireless operators, working undercover and in complete secrecy they risked arrest and interrogation every single day. 

This dramatic portrayal of a Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent is brought to you by History's Maid.

 After the performance, enjoy a chance to learn about the equipment and weapons that SOE used from Dr Kate Vigurs, renowned SOE historian– they are enough to make Bond's Q a little jealous!
