1919 - 1939. The period between two World Wars was the Golden Age of Aviation. This was the time of Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Charles Kingsford-Smith, Howard Hughes and a host of other pioneer daredevils that took to the skies in search of adventure and fortune.
It's a gripping, true story about Bill Lancaster, a
daring young aviator in the '20's and early '30's, and his tempestuous love
affair with a married woman, the famous Australian female aviator, Chubbie
Miller.
It’s a tale of wild adventure, romance, betrayal
and murder.
"Mission of Flowers", a one-man
show, has already been performed to rave reviews in Los Angeles, in London
and at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival.
Written by playwright Gerry Greenland, directed by
Linden Wilkinson, "Mission of Flowers" will be performed by
the actor that toured the play overseas, Leof Kingsford-Smith, who just happens
to be the great-grandson of another famous aviator, Sir Charles
Kingsford-Smith.
Mission of Flowers follows the true story of Bill Lancaster, one of those early pioneer aviators whose exploits gripped the imagination of the world. This epic tale is compressed into ninety minutes. Playwright Gerry Greenland has captured the conflict that grew from Bill Lancaster's desire for recognition and his adulturous love for an equally ambitious woman. Directed by noted directors Linden Wilkinson and Damien Lay, this exciting drama will keep you enthralled.
