A brilliant and witty drama about two elderly female World War II
veterans with a secret past who embark on one last adventure to
right some historic wrongs. Meet the Williamson sisters, Britain's
most beloved World War II veterans. Now in their late nineties,
Josephine and Penny are in huge demand, beloved of journalists and
producers, popping up on red carpets and at fundraisers and
festivals all over the country. Despite their age, they're still in
great form--perfectly put together, sprightly and sparky, and
always in search of their next "excitement." This time it's a trip
to Paris to receive the Légion d'honneur for their part in
liberating France. As always, they will be accompanied by their
devoted gay nephew, Archie, who moved in with his aunts right after
he came out. The press has always reported that these lady heroes
worked for the Royal Navy and the nursing corps, but that's their
official cover. In reality, Josephine was an intelligence operative
who drew maps used for the D-Day invasion while Penny was a spy and
specialist at hand-to-combat, risking her teenage life in France.
And this trip to Paris is not what it seems either. Scandal and
crime have always quietly trailed the Williamson sisters, even in
the decades after the war. Now armed with new information about an
old adversary, these much decorated (but admittedly ancient)
veterans intend to settle scores, avenge lost friends, and pull off
one last, daring heist before the curtain finally comes down on
their illustrious careers. A deliciously fast-paced and witty
drama, The Excitements is the tale of two remarkably clever and
brave women who helped save the world and survived the unthinkable,
without ever losing their killer instinct...or their joie de vivre.
