Compelling... Exciting... Based on the true story of 1930's aviator Bill Lancaster's epic struggle for fame, the love of a woman, and survival in the blistering Sahara. Leof Kingsford-Smith's solo performance recreates Lancaster's attempt to survive for days in the desert beside his crashed aircraft. While waiting for rescue his thoughts turn to his life - a knotted tale of wild adventure, illicit love, betrayal and his trial for murder. Fresh from receiving rave reviews in Australia and the U.S.A., Mission of Flowers follows Bill Lancaster's journey from the mud of the Western Front in 1917, through to his purchase of Charles Kingsford-Smith's tiny biplane, Southern Cross Minor, and the toughest fight of his life. This thrilling and moving tale will keep you spellbound.
