Amy Johnson - Twenty Days: 5 May 1930
Amy Johnson sets off on the first leg of her flight from Croydon near London for Vienna.
"Twenty Days" is based on Amy鈥檚 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 鈥淛ason鈥�.
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 Amy鈥檚 story from the Amy Johnson Arts Trust.
Written by Hull writer and playwright Dave Windass.
Amy鈥檚 part is performed by Rachel Harris.
