Mission of Flowers

Compelling, exciting... the true story of 1930s aviator Bill Lancaster's epic struggle for fame, the love of a woman, and survival in the blistering heat of the Sahara. Leof Kingsford-Smith’s solo performance recreates Lancaster's attempt to survive for days in the desert beside his crashed aircraft. While waiting for rescue his thoughts turn to his life - a knotted tale of wild adventure, illicit love, betrayal and his trial for murder. This thrilling and moving tale will keep you spellbound. 'Exceptional, superb, gripping' (Fix); 'A tour de force' (Adelaide Weekender); 'Uplifting, intriguing theatre' (Sunday Mail, Australia).
