Award-winning company the Foundry Group is proud to recreate one of the greatest moments of aviation history and a truly British first \u2013 the first ever non-stop flight across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nail-biting, side-splitting true story of this daredevil flight by pilot Capt. John Alcock and navigator Lt. Arthur Whitten Brown is told in the hit stage play \u2018Those Magnificent Men\u2019 by acclaimed writing duo Mitchell & Nixon<\/a>, 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 \u2013 sometimes upside down \u2013 to Ireland and worldwide celebrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starring Foundry Group regular, Murray Simon<\/strong> (\u2018The Ministry of Biscuits\u2019) and writer\/performer Brian Mitchell <\/strong>(\u2018The Ornate Johnsons\u2019) who endeavour to tell the epic tale with just cardboard, two stools and some left-over props.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So strap yourself in and cry \u201cChocks away!\u201d for a night of thrills, spills and uproarious comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
