This piece of devised, physical theatre uses charming and inventive staging created from battered suitcases, puppets, maps and paper aeroplanes to give wings to the story of aviation’s pioneering women and the journeys they took, exploring the freedom found in flight. Interwoven into this narrative is the moving modern day account of a young woman’s travels to discover the story of her estranged grandmother, who had fled the constraints of her life in post-war Britain to adventure in South Africa.
