As part of her second year training at the University of Cumbria, Natalie was cast as Pam in Girlfriends by Howard Goodall. The show was double cast and rehearsed and performed in 5 weeks. 

Girlfriends follows recruits of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) on an RAF Bomber Command base during the Second World War. This emotionally compelling musical explores the bravery, camaraderie, solidarity and humour between the women in the WAAF while they pack parachutes, make shells, fall in love and live through the horrors of the War.
