The military sent Kathleen Taylor to London

When Kathleen Taylor enlisted in the military as a young woman, she’d already lived a full life. Or so she believed. When they sent her to London, she saw herself as knowledgeable and worldly, someone who could adapt to any situation she was dropped into. But not only did her rigid ideas on style and “how to experience London” rub her colleagues the wrong way, but the only other woman in the military unit (Sue Ellen)—a very unworldly, uncultured person—was the one everyone wanted to hang out with.

Right now our archived videos are behind a paywall, but in the coming months we’ll be making them available to everyone. You can wait until then, or you can become a paid subscriber now to gain early access to all our archive of live-recorded true, personal stories. And, even better? All paid subscribers get exclusive access to our live shows via live recordings a week after the event. That means you see the show in its entirety, from watching the audience yell “HI, KEITH!” all the way to final bows. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who’s wanted to see a Nutshell show but doesn’t live in the Sacramento area.
