In the meantime, you might be interested to know that Pedal Pusher was highlighted as one of Time Out's theatre picks of 2009. In fact, they said:

“In ‘Pedal Pusher’, what Theatre Delicatessen managed to do with a couple of plastic chairs and some cycling shorts was pretty spectacular.”

Pedal Pusher: 5 star Remote Goat Review

July 30th, 2009 by admin

"Long with the utmost eagerness" by Maddy Ryle for remotegoat on 29/07/09
"As an ordinary cyclist who uses her bike most days to get about town and sometimes takes it on holiday, and who has had some of her most serene or thought-provoking moments while in the saddle, I am predisposed to see the poetry of self-propulsion. But I've never paid more than scant attention to the Tour de France, so I've never really appreciated the drama of cycling as a sport, in which you challenge not only yourself but others as well. In 'Pedal Pusher' both the poetry and the drama are brought brilliantly to life in a piece of site-specific, promenade, physical theatre that is captivating enough for you to be gripped even if you've not been on a bike since the trike rusted up in the back garden when you were six."

Guardian.co.uk Blog: Cycling on stage? Pedal Pusher is theatrical revolution

"Cycling on stage? Pedal Pusher is theatrical revolution

"Simulating riders from the Tour de France is no easy thing in the theatre, but Delicatessen are really going places, without even using bikes…

"It seemed audacious to even attempt to stage an account of an event that involves 170-odd men whizzing through France at superhuman speeds. It's hard enough for Eurosport and all of its helicopters and motorbikes to do justice this awesome spectacle, so how on earth could the Tour be recreated in the theatre? "Well, firstly, the young company, Delicatessen, made the smart decision not to use any actual bikes in the action. It's a bold move considering the plot revolves around the world's biggest bike race, and three of cycling's most colourful characters: Lance Armstrong, Marco Pantani and Jan Ullrich, the three riders who vied for supremacy in the late 1990s..."

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
