Centre Stage

Extra, extra! Read all about it! £10,000 prize for the first ever non-stop transatlantic flight!

By any standards, it's a classic tale of plucky British pioneers - Captain John Alcock, dashing World War I fighter pilot and Lieutenant Arthur Whittam Brown, navigational genius with a gammy leg, huddled together against the elements in the tiny cockpit of their converted Vickers Vimy biplane, made almost entirely of wood and canvass - talk about winging it!

Comedy writers, Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon, have turned the story of the race to conquer the skies over the Atlantic into a fast and furious comic tour-de-force.

Thrill to the sheer adventuring spirit of our unlikely heroes, marvel at their daredevil aerial antics and wonder at how the whole bally thing is told with just two actors and a crate full of funny props.
