About Their Finest Hour

Their Finest Hour presents the story of the men and women who served with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. A completely new theatre piece, told through the words and eyes of those who were there, it is a truly unique and immersive verbatim production, with a cast playing over 100 characters. Featuring 1940s music and songs, poetry, and gripping story-telling, this stylish performance brings an emotive and significant part of our history to life.
