Fear of Flight is a music and movement spectacle that tracks fourteen nervous passengers on a bumpy transcontinental flight. Combining monologues, choral text and movement, and an ensemble of singing travelers, Fear of Flight marks a return for Artistic Fraud to the large scale music performances that defined the beginnings of the company (Under Wraps, In Your Dreams Freud, The Cheat).

Conceived and created by the award winning team of Jillian Keiley and Robert Chafe, Fear of Flight also features an original a cappella score by the nationally celebrated Jonathan Monro.

The show, much like the flight within it, is a trans-Canadian affair, with three partnering theatre companies from across the country, and original writing from some of the nations most prominent and lauded English playwrights; Daniel MacIvor, Judith Thompson, Denise Clarke, Marie Clements,  David Yee, Bryden MacDonald, Guillermo Verdecchia,  and Berni Stapleton.
