A warm and witty celebration of the life of unsung sporting legend Beryl Burton. This critically acclaimed first play by renowned stage and screen actress, Maxine Peake, tells the story of the working class mum from Leeds, who cycled her way into the record books, becoming the greatest ever woman on two wheels. Beryl's story was largely forgotten but now her amazing achievements are finally being shown to a wider audience. It has recently won the Behind The Arras Best Play of 2018 for amateur theatre.
