Wednesday 11 December
Based on a true story: in the summer of 1979; in
Thüringen, in East Germany, two families put
together a crazy plan. They are desperate to
leave the DDR for ‘the West' and plan to flee in
a homemade hot air balloon. After sewing and
tinkering for weeks, the amateurs make their
first attempt. Metres from the West German
border, their balloon fails and crashes to the
ground
For over 20 years Peter has performed
throughout the world featuring in not only
internationally celebrated musicals such as ‘Les
Miserables’ in London’s West End to the MGM
Las Vegas but also in many of his own
productions throughout Ireland, the UK and
Europe. Avoiding capture, the wreckage from their
escape attempt is found and that triggers a
desperate manhunt. The tension rises as the
families determine to try again and a race
against time ensues. On the one hand are the
authorities, committed to track down the
traitors; on the other, the would-be escapees
conscious of the net tightening, but desperate
to flee at ball costs.
