Hide AdLouise said: “Florence Nightingale spent less than two years as a nurse during the Crimean War, yet she lived to the age of 90.
"At a time when women weren’t entitled to vote Florence used every tool at her disposal to achieve change that impacted people living in poverty around the globe.
"I want this show to bring Florence Nightingale to life as a three-dimensional human and to consider how legends, myths are legacies are created.”
