Can you imagine a play about Pantani appearing, let alone being reviewed by our esteemed local/national rag even a few years ago? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10186#post-110670 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:19:27 +0000 Jackson Priest 110670@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There was a Pantani thing on the radio recently too - you can download it here: </p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/5lspecials" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/5lspecials</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10186#post-110652 Thu, 16 May 2013 07:02:50 +0000 Charterhall 110652@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As if there isn't enough cycling on telly, now its at the theatre too. Now showing at The Tron, Glasgow, Marco Pantani The Pirate -<br /> "Marco Pantani The Pirate is a complex three-handed narrative, delivered by an excellent Jordan Young as Marco himself, with Blythe Duff as his mother, and James Smillie as his bearded grandfather; it’s backed by images of Pantani’s career, and by a set featuring fragments of bikes. As a play, it is still a long way from perfection: there’s too much relentless exposition of the detail of Pantani’s career, and the long sequences of names and incidents almost defeat both Duff and Smillie at times. Yet there’s an intensity about this drama of obsession and self-destruction – its shape, its energy, its fierce tragic momentum – that burns it into the memory; it’s a story that deserves a longer life, and may well get one."</p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/performing-arts/theatre-reviews-as-it-is-marco-pantani-the-pirate-1-2931350" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/performing-arts/theatre-reviews-as-it-is-marco-pantani-the-pirate-1-2931350</a> </p>
