Modelling Spitfires deals with the shattering effect on family life when mental illness strikes. Maurice and Marcia are a middle-aged brother and sister living in the well appointed home of their late parents. Marcia is happily planning her future when Maurice returns home from hospital where he has been a psychiatric inpatient for some time. He has some astonishing news for his sister Marcia - which threatens all Marcia's well thought out future plans. Who is the manipulator and who is the manipulated? The play is an intriguing exploration of middle-aged relationships and mental sickness. Its content is thought provoking but with humour and light-hearted relief.
