Thought people on here might be interested in this play, which is being produced by a friend of mine. It focuses on the Tour de France, so very apt timing...Basic story is that it follows Jan Ullrich, Marco Pantani and Lance Armstrong through "the five years that changed sporting history forever. From Jan Ullrich winning the Tour de France in 1997, through the near-collapse of the Tour de France in 1998, Armstrong's battle with cancer and the allegations of drug abuse that have dogged cycling for so long." Its running every night, Monday to Saturday, until Saturday 1st August.
Here's the theatre company's website for further details: http://www.theatredelicatessen.co.uk/pedal-pusher/index.html
And here's a link to a review of the play: http://realcycling.blogspot.com/2009/07/theatre-review-pedal-pusher.html
I haven't seen it yet, am going this Friday, but reviews suggest it is a very good play, and if thats not enough cyclists are positively encouraged to bring and store their bikes in the performance area! The theatre is also pretty cool, its a converted former office space, with a bar (and table service) and a nice laid-back feel.
If there's enough interest a group outing could be on the cards...
