TERENCE RATTIGAN’S FLARE PATH
An Original Theatre Company & Birdsong Productions Ltd Production
Based on Rattigan’s experiences as a tail gunner during World War II, Flare Path paints an evocative portrait of life in wartime Britain for the RAF bomber crews, their wives and sweethearts, who were left awaiting their return.
Set in 1942 against a backdrop of heartache and quiet bravery, it tells the story of former actress Patricia, the wife of RAF pilot Teddy, as their marriage is tested to the limits by the surprise arrival of Patricia’s ex‐lover and Hollywood idol Peter Kyle. An unexpected and dangerous mission over Germany puts Patricia at the centre of an emotional conflict as unpredictable as the war in the skies.
With heart tugging, human emotion, Flare Path opens an unforgettable window into a pivotal moment in our history.
Recently seen in London’s West End, this brand new production will be directed by rising star Justin Audibert (RSC, Young Vic, West Yorkshire Playhouse) and comes from the producers of Birdsong which played to sell-out audiences at Salisbury Playhouse in 2014.
