Theatre – Those Magnificent Men
Sunday 23 October 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Free – $15.00
The award-winning Foundry Theatre Group recreates one of the greatest moments in aviation history and a truly British first. The nail biting, side-splitting true story of the daredevil first ever non-stop flight across the Atlantic by pilot Capt. John Alcock and navigator Lt. Arthur Whitten-Brown.
The story is told in the hit stage play ‘Those Magnificent Men’ by acclaimed writing duo Mitchell & Nixon, originally produced by New Perspectives Theatre Company and revived by The Foundry Group. In the tiny open cockpit of a converted Vickers biplane, they flew from Newfoundland through dense fog, sleet, snow and hail – sometimes upside down – to Ireland and worldwide celebrity.
Starring Foundry Group regular, Murray Simon (‘The Ministry of Biscuits’) and writer/performer Brian Mitchell (‘The Ornate Johnsons’) who endeavour to tell the epic tale with just cardboard, two stools and some left-over props.
So strap yourself in and cry “Chocks away!” for a night of thrills, spills and uproarious comedy.
‘Wonderfully entertaining….has the makings of a West-End hit.’ – The Times*
‘An up, up and away fringe hit! Spiffing perfection.’ – The Daily Telegraph*
Bar opens at 7pm, 1 hour before the performance.
