The proposed expansion will see a
link corridor between the World War
I and World War II parts of the centre,
highlighting aviation highlights in the
1920s and 1930s, a larger area for arriving
visitors, a commercial kitchen, and more
administrative space. “It’s about making it
a better experience for the visitor.” Combining puppetry, shadow play, and live
music, The Road That Wasn’t There is a
curious tale for intrepid children (aged 8+)
and adventurous adults.
Certainly the Classic Fighters event and
the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre are
jewels in the crown for Marlborough. Tempestuous, inspirational and utterly
fearless, Pioneer aviator Jean Batten was
the very model of a strong New Zealand
woman. Her 1936 flight from England to
New Zealand, in a single engine plane
made of wood and fabric, navigating with
just a compass and a watch, is one of the
extraordinary feats of the last century.
As thrilling as the planes at Classic Fighters
are, there are also other events on in
Marlborough at the time, should you be
looking for other things to do, including a
theatrical telling of pioneer aviator Jean
Batten’s story at the ASB Theatre.
The Road That Wasn't There
Anderson Theatre, ASB Theatre
Marlborough, April 13 -15
This is a story about a girl who followed a
map off the edge of the world.
In New Zealand, there are some 56,000
kilometres of paper roads – streets and
towns that exist only on surveyors’ maps.
Or do they? A young woman strays from
the beaten track and finds herself in a
paper world. It seems to be a land of
possibility, but she soon discovers that
things that happen in the fictional world
can have frighteningly real consequences.
Miss Jean Batten
Anderson Theatre, ASB Theatre
Marlborough, April 18 - 21
Miss Jean Batten, is a solo show, about
one of New Zealand’s greatest heroes.
Set in the VIP Suite of the Hotel Australia,
Sydney, on the eve of the last and most
important leg of her historic flight to New
Zealand, as last minute attempts are being
made by Australian authorities to prevent
her from flying at all.
A joyous and powerful celebration of Jean
Batten. An adventurer, an aviator and a
woman who fought against the odds to
secure her place in history.

ASB Theatre Marlborough or call
