Fasten your seat belts and prepare for take-off as Ensemble Theatre presents Genevieve Hegney and Catherine Moore's brand-new comedy Fly Girl, a soaring celebration of one woman's relentless fight for equality, from 17th October to 22nd November.
Directed by Janine Watson (Aria, Colder Than Here) and featuring up-and-comer Cleo Meinck (Disney+'s The Artful Dodger) in her Ensemble Theatre debut, Fly Girl unpacks the obstacles faced by trailblazing aviatrix, Deborah Lawrie, in her turbulent journey to become Australia's first female commercial airline pilot.
It's the late 70's and the Australian Aviation Industry is a boy's club. The only job women are allowed involves wearing heels, lighting smokes and serving nuts. Deborah Lawrie's got the chops to fly the big jets, but Reg Ansett won't let her.
Fly Girl sees Hegney and Moore take the stage alongside Alex Kirwan (Bell Shakespeare Theatre Co's Henry V), Emma Palmer (The Queen's Nanny, Benefactors) and Meinck.
Uproariously funny and deeply inspiring, don't miss this sweeping new comedy about a true legend of Australian aviation. Let Fly Girl Fly!
