Heroine is based on the true story of lesbian soldier Danna Davis and her ten years in the US Army.

A survivor of Military Sexual trauma, hers is a human story exploring healing, forgiveness and what speaking your truth really means - with grit, lyricism and necessary black humour.

On a dangerous mission inside a combat zone, Sgt Davis must work with the perpetrator of her sexual attack to get her squad home safely. Can peace ever be possible?

This is a solo adaption of the award winning stage show with a fully realised sound design by Heather Andrews, and extra vocalisations from Mike Vaughn, Nayo Wallace, Heather Andrews, Eduardo Ruales, Xzavier Beacham, Alan Steele, Gary Lynass and Ollie Johnston.

Grateful thanks to our panel of Military advisors, including Amber Schleuning and Sergio Miguel Cruz, MBA.
