When the first days of the 20th century dawned, the world could not know that it stood on the eve of one of the most revolutionary moments in human history: man's ability to fly. As the decades wore on, the history of aviation became no less than an intrinsic part of the 20th century - and in ways that were forever indelible. From peace time when the vast oceans of time immemorial suddenly became quickly n avigated overhead by air, to wartime when two massive world conflicts evoolved a whole new field of battle in the skies, names like Wilbur Wright, Charles Lindberg, Billy Bishop and Antoine St. Exupery became synonymous with a revolutionary and uncharted way of viewing our world - from the air. Aviation changed forever our understanding of our planet, and our place in it. But there is a lesser known chapter in 20th century aviation history that has not yet had its story told. This new Canadian play aims to change that. Spitfire Dance, a dramatic musical entertainment in two acts by playwright and producer Clint Ward, leads theatre audiences unto the much less-travelled road of the courageous and fascinating women who also dared fly the skies when the Wright Brothers, Billy Bishop and Lindgergh were stealing the headlines. The play opens with maverick pilot and writer Beryl Markham who says "We began when the sky was clean and ready for the sun..." The play reveals the fascinating lives of pioneer women aviators.
