Amy Johnson - Twenty Days: the journey ahead
In May 1930, Amy Johnson from Hull flew from England to Australia in 20 days.
"Twenty Days" is based on Amyβs own records of her flight, on contemporary press reports and the telegrams she sent home to her parents back in Hull throughout her gruelling 20-day passage in May 1930 from Croydon Airport to Darwin in Australia in her Gipsy Moth aeroplane called βJasonβ.
Experience the highs, the lows and the unexpected incidents that a 26-year-old Hull woman experienced on her route to making history. In an evidence-based, first-person retelling of Amyβs story from the Amy Johnson Arts Trust.
Written by Hull writer and playwright Dave Windass. Amyβs part is performed by Rachel Harris.
