F.A.N.Y

Five Women. One War. One Purpose.
F.A.N.Y is a startling new play about courage, bravery & redemption.

This evocative production immerses you in the front-line reality of the Great War from a rarely seen perspective... a woman's.

Innovative theatre company Anonymous Is A Woman presents First Aid Nursing Yeomanry: the story of the incredible women who drove ambulances from the front line of the bloody battlefield to the nearby hospitals. The show is based on real accounts already accessed from the F.A.N.Y records and the Imperial War Museum, and taking inspiration from a novel by Robert Radcliffe. So little has ever been said about these war women; with the continuing centenary of WW1 we feel now is the perfect time for their story to finally be heard. After performing an extract at last year’s Women's History Network Conference in Worcester to delegates from across the globe, the company is bringing its show to premier in the West Midlands as part of the Imperial War Museum’s Centenary Partnership.
