DIY theatre

It’s been a great year for the DIY aesthetic. In ‘Pedal Pusher’, what Theatre Delicatessen managed to do with a couple of plastic chairs and some cycling shorts was pretty spectacular. And Nic Green’s DIY feminism ‘Trilogy’ (coming to  BAC and the Barbican in January) made a lot of women feel good.

I have no interest in cycling but this was a gripping play. I'm looking forward to seeing their next productions, in fact I shall make an effort to do so.

Pedal Pusher was absolutely spell binding. As a cyclist the idea of protesting the greatest cycling story of all time seemed doubtful on such a small scale but the beautiful way they represented the races got my heart racing!
