Agent of Influence - The Secret Life of Pamela More
by Fluff Productionstheatre
London, 1936: fashion columnist Lady Pamela is recruited by MI5 to spy on fascist sympathiser Edward VIII as war approaches.
about the production
Agent of Influence is a 75 minute-long one-woman play about fashion columnist and socialite Lady Pamela More who is recruited by MI5 in 1936 to keep notes on Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII, suspected to be colluding with the German Embassy. In the depths of a darkened bomb shelter, we follow Pamela through the Abdication Crisis and the beginning of WWII as she discovers that the now-Duke and Duchess of Windsor have become an asset to Hitler and a liability to war-torn Britain.
about the artist
Fluff Productions are an all-female theatre company dedicated to producing new, innovative and exciting writing with female lead casts. Fluff was formed in 2004 by drama school graduates frustrated by the lack of roles for women in theatre. The company's aim was to redress the balance by producing original material by contemporary writers with all female casts. Fluff has gone on to stage a number of phenomenally successful runs in London, Edinburgh and on tour, all receiving rave reviews.

“A sensational, hilarious turn from fur-clad Rebecca Dunn as upper class 30s fashion journalist Pamela. With an eyebrow arched and impeccable comic timing.”
"What an absolute hoot of a show. Funny and clever, beautifully acted, well paced and sharply written. A genuinely funny piece delivered with great panache."
"Dunn's phenomenal acting skills still make for a strong and entertaining show, especially when combined with the fantastic writing. The parallels with the current political situation in Europe are obvious but subtly acknowledged, and a powerful, emotional conclusion very nicely wraps up an otherwise action-packed storyline."
