VALIANT chronicles a century of war as seen through the eyes of women from across the globe.  Adapted for the stage by Lanna Joffrey from Sally Hayton-Keeva’s book of interviews Valiant Women in War and Exile, meet thirteen women who have fought in, struggled through, and survived conflict. From victim to perpetrator to peacemaker, this critically acclaimed play takes verbatim interviews to create a compelling portrait of what women do in a time of war, and explores how it has shaped their lives and subsequently our own. Historically, war has spoken in a male voice; in Valiant, women have their say.

Previously performed at the New York International Fringe Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Valiant was long-listed for the 2015 Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award, nominated for the New York Innovative Theatre Award, and won the New York International Fringe Festival Overall Excellence in Performance Award.
