'Noor Inayat Khan: The Forgotten Spy' premiered at the Hollywood Fringe Festival to much acclaim and sold out performances. It is based on the untold true story of Noor Inayat Khan, an Indian princess turned British WW2 spy who became the first woman to be sent out as a radio operator and was vital to the success in D-Day. She evaded the gestapo for months in France, while creating a network that would sabotage their plans until eventually she was caught, tortured, and executed in Dachau.
