Flights

Directed by Natalie Venettacci

The Old Nick Company are thrilled to announce the Australian premiere of 'Flights', written by John O’Donovan. Directed by Natalie Venettacci, assisted by Alison Stanton-Cook, Flights is a haunting and funny drama about bereavement, brotherhood and breaking away from your past. 

On the outskirts of Ennis, on a dark and stormy night, three men gather for the anniversary of a childhood friend, killed in a road accident when they were seventeen. Expecting a crowd and tearing into the cans, the three slowly realise they're the only ones coming. As they drink to their uncertain futures – and their receding youth – they're forced to face up to the ghost that has held them together.

10 SHOWS ONLY! The season will run from July the 10th to the 20th. 

'Flights' will take place at the Hidden Theatre, Kickstart Arts St Johns Ave in New Town.

We invite you all to attend on opening night and throughout the season to experience this emotional, thought provoking and powerful show.
