Get on your bike for a theatrical cycling experience as part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games Cultural Programme.
There’s a tour happening in your local park, but it’s not your usual tour, the things you will learn are, well, interesting . . .
Touring to 11 parks across Scotland, The Spokesmen is an outdoor theatre performance with a difference; the audience and cast are all on bikes!
This whirlwind cycle of discovery will take you to haunted woods, the natural habitat of some surprising creatures, a historical battle ground and all with a little a little pop culture sprinkled into the mix.
Directed and written by Douglas Irvine and performed by Alan Mchugh and Simon Donaldson, this comedy piece has been created for a family and schools audience. Designed by Sergey Jakovsky, you’ll be amazed what a bike can do.
The show’s writer and director Douglas Irvine commented:- ‘’There’s something magical about riding a bike, particularly if you haven’t been on one for a while; it transports you to another place, one of freedom and childhood. This outdoor theatre piece has that sense of play and adventure about it and we hope that young and old alike will be inspired to get on their bikes and experience the great outdoors.’’
Feel the wind in your hair as you pedal through this bonkers show, your park will never be the same again.
Bikes and helmets provided.
