Inspired by the extraordinary true stories of the women who dared to fly during WWII and the incredible bond that tied them together. Both funny and heart-warming, this is an untold story of strength, courage and loss. But above all else, hope.
“It’s built for us, isn’t it? The Spitfire. Built for women.”
It's New Year’s Eve, 1959.
Decades after answering the call, two women separated by the war meet again as the rain hammers down on the windows of The Spitfire pub.
As we hear their story, we’re transported back to a time when female pioneers defied expectations and soared through the skies.
Marking the 80th Anniversary year of the end of World War II, the play has been developed with support from the National Theatre Generate Programme and the producers are proud to be working with the Royal British Legion.
