"Pleasingly original... A fine piece of theatre" - The Stage

Life isn’t much fun for the two children trapped on Ward One of St Ruth’s Hospital. Nurse Cakebread doesn’t like fun. She doesn’t like children. And she certainly isn’t going to like what happens next!

A new boy arrives at the hospital and he is soon leading a revolt against Cakebread’s hard regime. Armed with a set of blueprints and a cunning escape plan, he turns everything on the ward upside down. Full of laughs and action, The Flying Machine is packed with heroic deeds, despicable acts and daring bravery.

Join us for the World Premiere of this brand new play and find out if this extraordinary contraption can actually fly before the alarm is raised.
