“The bicycle has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel” Susan B Anthony, Women’s Rights Activist, 1896

March 2020. Kit is a resourceful working mother of two who thrives in a fast-pacedworld, but when lockdown hits, her world shrinks. With the walls closing in, two wheels become her sanctuary, and her escape.

A new play drawing on true stories and using Red Cape Theatre’s trademark blend of comedy and visual, physical theatre, On Track follows Kit’s journey of discovery through the history of women’s cycling.

Exploring the effects of isolation on mental health and showing how a simple bicycle can become a vehicle to freedom once again, On Track will inspire you to pump up your tyres and ride out on a new adventure too.

House says: A great show to engage with your local cycling groups. Also explores discussions around feminism, the pandemic and mental health.
