But Pamela suddenly realises that what began as an adventure has led to a deadly struggle for power in a world in the shadow of war.

Fluff Productions stars Rebecca Dunn in this little jewel of a glamorous period drama: seamed stockings, spies and dinner at the embassy anyone?

It is a gripping one-person play by Sarah Sigal and a real tour-de-force by talented young actress Rebecca Dunn.

If you are a fan of Netflix series ‘The Crown’ and love historic tales of diplomatic and political intrigue then you will really love this highly atmospheric story set in the tense years leading up to the Second World War.
