Spitfire Girls takes flight at Derby Theatre

Published Wednesday 19th Mar 2025
Inspired by remarkable true events

Derby Theatre is to transform into New Year’s Eve of 1959, to tell the true story of The Spitfire Girls this April, from Tuesday 8 – Saturday 12 April 2025. Decades after answering the call, two women separated by the war meet again as the rain hammers down on the windows of The Spitfire pub. 

As we hear their story, we’re transported back to a time when female pioneers defied expectations and soared through the skies. 

Spitfire Girls is inspired by the extraordinary true stories of the women who dared to fly during WWII and the incredible bond that tied them together. 

Funny and heart-warming, this is an untold story of strength, courage and loss. But above all else, hope.
