TheatreDelicatessen will be transferring their Time Out Critics’ Choice production of Pedal Pusher to the Edinburgh Fringe 2010.
Due to unavailability of one of the original team, we are looking to recast the part of Jan Ullrich.
Pedal Pusher is a compelling piece of physical theatre that draws on interviews, archive footage and news reports to recreate the battles between Lance Armstrong, Jan Ullrich and Marco Pantani - three professional cyclists battling to be champion of the Tour de France.

Although Jan has a strong physicality and presence, he is thoughtful and questioning. Having grown up in communist East Germany, Jan finds it hard to deal with the celebrity of being a famous sportsman.
Experience of physical and/or devised theatre preferable
• Excerpts from Pedal Pusher will also be staged as part of the Rapha Nocturne at Smithfield on 19 June 2010

Newsletter: Scaramouche Jones, Pedal Party, News
May 5th, 2010 by admin
In this installment of the theatredelicatessen newsletter:
Scaramouche Jones now showing at Picton Place"Unmissable, captivating one man show"
remotegoat.co.uk
"bawdy, farcical and tragic, Tacit Theatre’s magnetic production more than bears comparison with Pete Postlethwaite’s acclaimed version"
-- The Stage
Tacit Theatre presents a piece of story-telling theatre at its very best with its production of Scaramouche Jones, by Justin Butcher. A full length play for one actor, Scaramouche Jones tells the life-story of a 99 year old clown in his own words and bears witness to some of the pivotal moments of the 20th century. The theatredelicatessen space has been turned into a circus tent, into which comes the eponymous Scaramouche Jones, a charismatic 99 year-old clown with a wealth of stories to tell from his journey through the ups and downs of the twentieth century. We meet our narrator as the festivities begin on millennium eve, his 100th birthday, and the night of his final and most important performance. He relates his birth at the turn of the 20th century in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, tells of his childhood in slavery, his rambling across Saharan Africa, his gypsy life in Milan, his role as a concentration camp grave-digger and his eventual arrival in London, the home of his mysterious English father. Along the way he meets a spectrum of characters, each with their own profound effect on his life. Under the direction of Jon Constant, Tom Daplyn (Tacit’s Artistic Director) plays Scaramouche. The production, which has been in development for nearly two years, features original music from resident composer Sarah Bodalbhai. This is Tacit Theatre’s second show at theatredelicatessen, immediately following on from a highly successful production of The Canterbury Tales, which was adapted and directed by Tom Daplyn.
