It’s back! The thrilling true story of the first ever non-stop transatlantic flight as told by acclaimed writing duo Mitchell & Nixon<\/a> returns in this side-splitting new production.<\/p>\n

Those Magnificent Men promo trailer<\/a><\/p>\n

The Foundry Group is proud to join forces with award-winning BBC4 sketch group The Ornate Johnsons for this brand new staging of the hit play about British pioneering aviators Capt. John Alcock and Lt. Arthur Whitten Brown and their daredevil dash across the Atlantic in the tiny open cockpit of a converted Vickers biplane. In this glorified kite they flew from Newfoundland through dense fog, sleet, snow and hail \u2013 sometimes upside down \u2013 to Ireland and worldwide celebrity. <\/p>\n

What made them do it?
\nWhy have they been forgotten?
\nAnd how on earth can a couple of actors tell it all with just cardboard, two chairs and some left-over props? <\/p>\n

A top-hole cast, including ‘Count Arthur Strong’s Radio Show’ and ‘This Is Jinsy’ regular David Mounfield<\/a>, guarantees the show takes flight. So strap yourself in and cry \u201cChocks away!\u201d for a night of thrills, spills and uproarious comedy.<\/p>\n
