Middleweight Theatre present 'What's Next?'
The true story you’ve never heard about…
Fresh from the resounding success of its critically acclaimed 2023 UK tour, Middle-Weight Theatre proudly presents: 'What’s Next?'
Based on true events, What’s Next? is a captivating one-woman show that delves into the remarkable life of Harriet Quimby, a trailblazing figure in aviation history that defied societal norms and soared to new heights – as the first woman to earn a pilot’s license in the United States.
This exciting new production shines a light on the often-overlooked historical milestone: the awe-inspiring journey of the first woman to conquer the skies solo and soar across the English Channel. The big question is: Why haven’t you heard of her...? “
Playing the title role is Victoria Lucie, who made her West End debut playing Miss Casewell in London’s longest running play The Mousetrap. Other stage credits include The Night Pirates, (The Rose Theatre, Kingston and National Tour), The Importance of Being Earnest, Charley's Aunt, The Hound of the Baskervilles and many more with The Worcester Rep. Victoria Lucie said: “I am not only honoured to be asked to play such a strong and pioneering woman of history, but hugely excited to be reunited with old friends and new at Middle-Weight Theatre after performing with them in 2015.”
