Synopsis John Godber wrote this play based on personal experience. Invited to attend events all over the world his need to fly regularly was causing him problems. His wife enrolled him on a 'Fly with Confidence' course at Nottingham East Midlands Airport as a birthday present! We don't know how the course affected him and his ability to get on a plane but the play was written based on his experiences. All the people in the play were real, he tells us, from the ex-RAF leader of the course to the big man afraid to get on the plane. The play speaks to us all with its acute observation of our neuroses highlighted and fuelled by a stressful experience in public. The action takes place at an airport Act 1 Takes place during one day. There are twelve scenes - lights will dim between scenes to illustrate the passage of time.
