"Pigs Can Fly" - by Helen Landau
(A new play published 29th March 2019)
Following the success of her book "The Birth of British Aviation", this play tells the little known story of the early flying pioneers led by Charles Rolls, and the engineering exploits of the Short Brothers and their battle to gain recognition from the Government. Set in the early 1900s the play also describes the tragic love affair between Charles Rolls and Vera Hedges Butler blighted by the strict class divisions of the period. An outrageous stunt by Frank McClean finally convinced the Government that Pigs Can Fly!
The play is suitable for all groups particularly schools and colleges. Some scenes require back projection which is available as part of the play.
