This feel-good comedy brings you the beloved characters, romance and action of Tom Cruise’s aerial blockbuster, alongside the heartfelt story of father and son superfans who can’t agree on anything except their favourite film.
Can Maverick and best friend Goose beat Iceman to the Top Gun trophy? Can instructor Charlie get a drink without anyone singing at her? Can one Fringe First-winning poet / nerd re-enact the movie’s signature dogfights – alone?
This very unauthorised parody marks 40 years since Top Gun’s cinema release – essential viewing for Top Gun veterans and rookies alike.
From the creative team behind the global smash hit Yippee Ki Yay. Written and performed by Richard Marsh – London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Scripted Comedy Drama award-winner and fighter pilot (one of these is untrue). Directed by Hal Chambers with movement by Emma Webb, this show will take your breath away.
