FLAK
True stories from the men who flew in Word War II
Written & Performed by Michael Veitch
Based on his two best-selling books, Flak and Fly, well-known writer and perfomer Michael Veitch presents 'Flak - True stories from the men who flew in World War Two' - in which he takes on the roles of former airmen, recounting their extraordinary, true and largely untold stories of combat in the air war of 1939-45.
Michael Veitch's "Flak" is a marvellous monodrama told with the skill of someone who combines the questing of a journalist, the rigour of a historian and the compassion of a very fine actor. There are few storytellers in Australia like Michael Veitch. He puts humanity and wry observation into the terrible arithmetic of air warfare. His personal mission to honour the memory and the memories of the last of a generation who bear a remarkable witness is a special kind of theatrical experience.
