Spitfire Girls Flies Into The Dukes Lancaster This May!

Spitfire Girls, a new play by Katherine Senior inspired by remarkable true events, flies into The Dukes Lancaster this May, playing from 6-10 May as part of a major UK tour.

Spitfire Girls is inspired by the extraordinary true stories of the women who dared to fly during WWII and the incredible bond that tied them together.

Funny and heart-warming, this is an untold story of strength, courage and loss. But above all else, hope.

Marking the 80th Anniversary year of the end of World War II, the production has been developed with support from the National Theatre Generate Programme.

It’s New Year’s Eve, 1959. Decades after answering the call, two women separated by the war meet again as the rain hammers down on the windows of The Spitfire pub. As we hear their story, we’re transported back to a time when female pioneers defied expectations and soared through the skies.
