Wireless Operator

Sell-out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and in London 2019!

This one-man play captivated audiences, young and old. The gripping true story of a terrifying night-time Lancaster Bomber raid in WWII told through the eyes and ears of the wireless operator. Confined in the claustrophobic aircraft the young crew struggle to survive. They avoid searchlights and flak, plunge into terrifying zero-gravity manoeuvres and witness planes blown out of the sky. As they unleash their deadly cargo onto the city below, the wireless operator agonises about the real cost of their mission. Exciting, tense and unusual, the play uncovers the triggers that traumatised those airmen who survived.
