“Oh, let us dance together in the sky.”

John Gray and Eric Peterson’s timeless story of World War One fighter pilot Billy Bishop is now considered a masterpiece of Canadian theatre. Now, more than thirty years after its creation, the original pair take flight again in the acclaimed Soulpepper production that the Toronto Star hailed as “better than ever…not to be missed” and the National Post and the Globe and Mail called one of the top ten productions of 2009. 


How thrilling to present this production of one of our country’s most beloved works starring the two original creators. Reminisce, reflect and enjoy the splendour of this story about one of Canada’s greatest sons, Billy Bishop.
