Life isn’t much fun for the two children trapped on Ward One of St Ruth’s Hospital For Damaged Eyes. But then a new boy arrives at the hospital and soon he is leading a revolt against Nurse Cakebread’s hard regime. Armed with a set of blueprints and a cunning escape plan, he turns life on the ward upside down. Full of laughs and action, The Flying Machine is a play of heroic deeds, despicable schemes and acts of amazing bravery.
