Fly Me! Mrs Sage and the Mile High Club
The cornerHOUSE Community Arts Centre, Surbiton, KT6 7SB
Friday 6th November 2026
Letitia Sage brought va-va-voom to the balloon when she set out to be the first Englishwoman to fly in 1785.
With more twists than a hit farce, a Georgian playwright could not have given the real-life Mrs Sage balloon show a better plot. Did the daredevil diva really start the Mile High Club?
Find out as innuendo and hilarity abound in this battle of the books between biographer and playwright Sharon Wright and Mrs Sage herself (played by actress Denise Rocard), both giving their own account of the infamous story!
Suitable for age 16+.
