About the show
A Little Green Leaf, by Leaf Collective, is inspired by the life of Odette Hallowes — Britain's most highly decorated spy of the Second World War, holder of the MBE, Legion d'Honneur and George Cross. The play tells the story of Odette's service as an agent of the Special Operations Executive, her resilience under Gestapo brutality, survival of Ravensbruck concentration camp, and her remarkable ability to retain light, humanity and compassion in the face of unimaginable suffering. Running 55 minutes at Annexe, tickets are £12.50 and the show is suited to audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A poignant portrait of Odette Hallowes drawn directly from the historical record — her service, her capture, her survival of Ravensbruck. A Little Green Leaf is a reminder that courage and compassion can endure even the most brutal circumstances.
