This short film was made as a commission, but we then developed it into a one-woman stage show. Information about that else on this site. In addition, it's been further developed into a feature project. Please get in touch using the Contact page if you'd like to watch the sizzle reel and read the script.
Jane Stanton as Dorothy Lawrence on her 100 year old bicycle
This is the true story of Dorothy Lawrence who decided to be a war correspondent in 1915. Undeterred after many set backs, she cycled from London to the Western Front, obtained a uniform and mingled with the soldiers going up to the Front. Here she ended up laying mines under No Man’s Land but when her gender was revealed, her presence caused some very different explosions.
This project has now been developed into a one-woman theatre piece (information here: http://www.hurcheonfilms.com/projects/6073880) and is currently progressing into a feature film script which expands on the story of Dorothy’s colourful adventures and unlikely fate.
