Theatre Delicatessen Pedal Pusher

Brilliant! An exhilarating, fact-packed Tour de Force "I'll admit, when they said to me 'Hey up TR, we want you to review a play about Armstrong, Ullrich and Pantani at the Tour de France, it's in a disused warehouse in the West End and they're going to re-enact the Tour, but without any bikes…but with audience participation" "Uh-oh" was my first reaction. Shows what I know, it was brilliant, an exhilarating, informative fact-packed Tour de Force. Anyone who's interested in the Tour won't fail to get something out of it… You will believe that three men on chairs are Armstrong, Ullrich and Pantani battling it out for Tour glory. The amount and depth of information on offer at times might tip things over into the realms of cycle-geekery, but who cares: I'm a cycling geek. If you are one of those cycling racing fans who has already immersed themselves in the details of Tour history much of this might not be new, but even then the engaging manner of the play's presentation really brings it all to life."

Radio France Critiques Pedal Pusher

July 16th, 2009 by admin

Lance Armstrong and Pantani - Pedal Pusher "C’est un ancien entrepôt qui ne paye pas de mine, tout en haut de Regent’s street à Londres. La troupe, elle aussi, est presque sans moyens. Elle s’appelle le Delicatessen Theater. Le spectacle qu’elle présente en ce moment est pourtant formidable d’ingéniosité. Il s’appelle « pedal pusher », que l’on pourrait traduire par le pédaleur. Ce titre est aussi un jeu de mot avec une expression qui signifie « pousser sur la seringue ». Bref, c’est bien du tour de France, de notre tour de France, qu’il est question." - Radio France

Blogs

Thanks to all you budding bloggers. Here are a couple of highlights:
"A brilliant portrait of obsessed men, and brilliant theatre. It's not about the bike; go and see it." - Real Cycling
"Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Pedal Pusher and it took me back to when I used to cycle regularly in London. Afterwards, all I wanted to do was get on my bike and chew up some miles on the slick London roads. The thrill, the chase, the effort, the determination is all there. The major topics of doping, athleticism, euphoria and despair are intricately woven together. If you've only been grabbing the occassional highlight of this years tour, Pedal Pusher will make you want to grab a bike." - ERA Burge
