In January 1941, whilst ferrying an
aircraft as part of the war effort,
Britain's foremost woman aviator disappeared
in unresolved circumstances.
Born in Hull, the daughter of a local fish merchant,
Amy Johnson went on to
become internationally famous
as a pioneer and promoter of global air travel
in the 1930s.
Her marriage to fellow pilot Jim
Mollison, her lifelong friendship
with Winifred Irving, her association with
aircraft engineer
Jack Humphries and the events leading up to her
mysterious
death are vividly portrayed in this
well-crafted piece of theatre.
2010 will be the
80th anniversary since her solo
flight from England to Port Darwin in Australia.
Seating in The Larkum Studio at the ADC Theatre is limited to 34
A pre-show talk will be given to
ticket-holders for the Saturday matinee
by author Rex Walford. The talk will begin at 3.30 p.m. in the ADC Theatre Bar
and there will be a brief opportunity to ask questions before the performance.
Please book early to avoid disappointment.
