Beryl Burton was one of Britain's greatest cyclists, but did not get the recognition she deserved. Actress Maxine Peake has tried to rectify that by writing a stage play about Burton while juggling TV shows, films and preparations for playing Hamlet on stage."

I was reading the Observer piece on this at the weekend. Sounds like she was totally nails. Overtaking the leading male cyclist in a twenty-four hour race she takes pity, offers him a jelly baby and beats him by thirty-odd miles.
Properly outstanding. The Texan cheat should be made to attend every performance.
