SPITFIRE GIRLS
Written by Katherine Senior
Directed by Caroline Knight

‘Spitfire Girls’ is inspired by the extraordinary true stories of the incredible women who flew planes in WWII, as part of the Air Transport Auxiliary and is a warm and uplifting piece of theatre - both funny and sad, but also powerful and atmospheric.

The play is an ensemble-driven piece, centred on the bond between two principal characters - sisters, Bett & Dotty - but also relies heavily on a tight, supporting cast, most of whom will play dual roles and whose characters are all formative to the story.

Actors will need to be confident in bringing two separate characters to life (supporting cast), as well as be physically fit, and comfortable with physical theatre and movement.

Casting Requirements:

Bett - Older sister to Dotty: playing age mid-to late 20s, up to age 40.
Dotty - Younger sister to Bett: playing age mid 20s.
Commanding Officer/Joy - female - playing age 30s to early 40s.
Tom - playing age mid-20s to early 30s. Black or mixed heritage.
Also plays Jimmy
Dad/Frank - playing age 50s to early 60s
