Flight Path & Undercarriage

Jonathan's eighteen. Bright boy. Great future. People expect things... Especially now that his dad's walked out, his mum's got her career and Danny needs looking after. Danny - his brother with Down's syndrome and a love of creative swearing. But Jonathan's best friend needs him too. It's hard work burgling houses all on your own... A lot can happen in a year. Especially when it's the most important year of your life. Flight Path, a funny, touching and unflinching portrait of brotherly love, published together with the short play Undercarriage, opened at The Bush Theatre in September 2007 in a co-production with Out of Joint.

David Watson's first play Just a Bloke was staged as part of the Royal Court's Young Writers Festival when he was 17. Other plays include Flight Path (Bush Theatre/Out of Joint), Any Which Way, performed by ex-offenders for Only Connect Theatre Company and Pieces of Vincent (Arcola). He has written short plays for the Birmingham Rep and the Tricycle Theatre. His TV work includes L8R (Hi8us/BBC), for which he won a Children's BAFTA.
