Amy Johnson - Twenty Days: 23 May 1930

Amy is made to feel welcome on the remote island of Timor and has time to reflect.
Twenty Days is an evidence-based, first-person retelling of Amy鈥檚 story from the Amy Johnson Arts Trust. It covers the highs, the lows and the unexpected incidents that the 26-year-old Hull woman experienced on her route to making history.
Twenty Days is based on Amy鈥檚 own records of her flight, on contemporary press reports and the telegrams she sent home to her parents back in Hull throughout her gruelling 20-day passage in May 1930 from Croydon Airport to Darwin in Australia in her Gipsy Moth aeroplane called 鈥淛ason.鈥
Twenty Days has been written by Hull writer and playwright Dave Windass and Amy鈥檚 part is performed by Rachel Harris.
