In Goldfield’s trademark “Three Stories” style, three linked stories (featuring children in different circumstances) are told with humour, pathos and respect.
500 years ago, young Leonardo da Vinci dreams of making flying machines….200 years ago, Martha Pocock is launched across the Avon Gorge in a wicker basket attached to a set of kites…and in 2020, Charley Finn has a soaring imagination taking him into a futuristic world of space travel…. Meanwhile, paper birds flit and swoop across stores and centuries, linking the lives of the children in curious ways.
Three Stories About Flying is a show about resilience and resourcefulness, about finding inspiration in the unlikeliest of places and how flights of fantasy can inspire incredible real-life achievements. Where will your imagination take you?
