A new solo play with Helen Moulder directed by Sue Rider. A family, food and five
surprising characters!
Olivia Paterson runs a big meat exporting company and wants to feed the world. Her
daughter is a vegan. Her father wants things to stay as they are. And her sister is not sure
what she wants. Only the mysterious Grace seems certain.
The Bicycle and the Butcher’s Daughter is a lively and entertaining solo work which
addresses themes of women in leadership, the meat industry, veganism, global food issues
and family relationships.

It is written by Sue Rider and Helen Moulder and directed by Sue Rider, the collaboration
that brought you Playing Miss Havisham, Gloria’s Handbag and Meeting Karpovsky.
Production includes recorded music by pianist Richard Mapp and violinist Juliet Ayre.
Contains some strong language. Recommended 15 +
