The experiences of women in war are brought to life in a new theatre work showing at Kyneton Town Hall in June.
Hallowed Ground: Women Doctors in War paints a portrait of what life was like for women who served with the armed forces during conflicts including WWI, WWII and those recently serving with our military in the Middle East.
Presented by Shift Theatre, the work is inspired by personal diaries, historical documents and face-to-face interviews. It also draws upon the real-life stories of Profession Susan Neuhaus, who served as a surgeon in Afghanistan and elsewhere with the Australian Army and chronicled her experiences in her book, Not for Glory: A Century of Service by Medical Women to the Australian Army and its Allies.
Don’t miss this moving tribute to the wise and remarkable women of war.
Hallowed Ground: Women Doctors in War is being performed on Thursday 20 June at 7.30pm at Kyneton Town Hall.
Tickets are $42 adults, $38 seniors, $35 concession and $10 student/child.
