“We’re thrilled to have Jenny Lockyer at the Boardwalk with ‘Amy Johnson: Last Flight Out’. The Boardwalk is a vibrant, creative and accessible events venue in the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City, the perfect setting for Lockyer’s educational and empowering piece of theatre. Her performance and Q&A will contribute to our growing program of high-quality performances and engage new audiences with an interest in historical storytelling. We are especially excited to host the performance on International Women’s Day, as Lockyer brings the inspiring story of Amy Johnson to light. Lockyer is an experienced and committed creative practitioner and we support the funding application for her Flying High Tour, as to introduce her work to audiences in Glasgow and showcase the transformative potential of our studio space.”

Suzy Strudwick
-Audience member
"Last Flight Out is such an inspiring peek into the private world of Amy Johnson, and what she faced being a woman in a man's world, having her own share of loss and difficulty yet still reaching for her dreams regardless.
After seeing the show I was utterly uplifted and inspired to keep on aiming for the skies! Hooray for the Jenny Lockyers of this world, cleverly and creatively remembering, rendering and preserving such a precious bit of human history to keep us not only informed but also inspired on our own life pathways, to remind us to have courage and faith in our own convictions.
One hour in the theatre, a wonderfully informative Q and A later and I walked away feeling like I'd witnessed a side to Amy's story that added another layer to my own resilience as a woman but also as a human being in an often challenging world.
Thanks Amy and Jenny for transporting my son and I into this incredible story of human strength and courage, and bringing us out the other side richer for it."
