Fear of Flight is a music and movement spectacle that tracks 14 nervous passengers on a bumpy transcontinental flight. The most ambitious project this lauded Canadian theatre company has created in a decade, the show combines monologues, choral text and movement — all performed by an ensemble of singing travellers.  

Much like the flight within it, Fear of Flight, is a bona fide trans-Canadian affair, with original writing from some of the nation’s most prominent English-language playwrights: Denise Clarke, Marie Clements, Bryden MacDonald, Daniel MacIvor, Berni Stapleton, Judith Thompson, Guillermo Verdecchia and David Yee.
