Information for Learning to Fly at Chipping Norton Theatre, Chipping Norton (One person show). Learning to Fly sees James tell the story of a remarkable friendship he made when he was a lonely, unhappy teenager with the scary old lady who lived in the spooky house on his street. It's about connection, no matter what the obstacles; about love's eternal struggle with time; about music and its ability to heal. It's also about her last wish: to get high once before she died.
