Written and performed by Jenny Lockyer. Directed by Vern Griffiths. Age guide 14yrs+ On the morning of 5th May 1930, a small green gipsy moth bi-plane called Jason took off from Croydon airport. The pilot was Amy Johnson. Newly qualified to fly and unknown to the world, Amy had a goal to break the record to Australia and make a name for herself in aviation. Taking off, Amy was about to experience one of the most exciting adventures of her life. She flew Jason solo, but together they met with sandstorms, monsoons, looming mountains and crossed shark infested seas.... On landing in Darwin 19 days later, Amy was an international superstar. Born in the year the Wright Brothers made their first flight and into an age where the romantic heights of flying captured her heart, Amy Johnson became the first British woman to qualify as a ground engineer and then, in 1930, the first woman in history to fly solo from England to Australia. Amy lived her life for adventure and the future of aviation. In January 1941, at just 37 years old, Amy was killed while serving her country on a routine flight for the Air Transport Auxiliary. In her short time this ‘lone girl flier’ achieved so much while faced with challenges of all kinds. We meet Amy in a world of memories, desires, wishes and ambitions. As we find out about her life we start to see how the pieces fit and the tools Amy used to bring her dreams to reality.... This performance falling on International Women's Day is part of the national Flying High tour supported by Arts Council England.
