The play, written by Katherine Senior, will embark on its second UK tour in 2026.
It has been announced that Katherine Senior’s play will head out on tour again in spring 2026, opening at the Winchester Theatre Royal on the 26th February 2026.
The production, marking the 80th Anniversary year of the end of World War II, premiered at MAST Mayflower Southampton in March 2025, prior to a 10-date tour. It is inspired by the true stories of the women who dared to fly during WWII and the incredible bond that tied them together.
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.
Presented by Tilted Wig and Mayflower Southampton and directed by Seán Aydon, the production will also visit: Royal and Derngate Northampton from 4 to 7 March, Buxton Opera House from 17 to 21 March, and Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford from 24 to 28 March. The production then plays Cambridge Arts Theatre from 7 to 11 April, Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds from 14 to 18 April, Theatr Clwyd from 21 to 25 April, and Watford Palace Theatre from 28 April to 2 May. The tour continues to Theatre by the Lake in Keswick from 12 to 16 May before concluding at Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough from 21 to 23 May.
