'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 WW1 fighter pilot, and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown, navigational genius with a gammy leg, huddled together against the elements in the tiny timber and canvas cockpit of their converted Vickers Vimy biplane - talk about winging it!

Now critically-acclaimed comedy writing duo, Brian Mitchell & 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.

CHOCKS AWAY! for the hilarious, heart-stopping story of Alcock and Brown and the first ever non-stop transatlantic flight.

“Wonderfully entertaining – has the makings of a West End hit” – THE TIMES

“A comic tour-de-force performance by two consummate storytellers who relished in relating this classic slice of British history to an appreciative audience. Bravo! Highly recommended.” – BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE
