Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. I had a constant battle to get where I am today. Scrimping and scraping, people telling me not to do it, I couldn't do it. That my life wouldn't amount to very much. Now I might have had a bit of natural talent but I got here because of pure determination and persistence. Stubbornness you might say. I always went that extra mile, pushed myself that bit harder than anyone else and never took anything for granted.It was 1954 when Beryl Charnock met keen cyclist Charlie Burton. In those days they cycled in clubs and once Beryl started she was smitten, not only with Charlie, but by the thrill and freedom found on two wheels. Beryl was better than good, she was the best, and she was determined to stay that way.Beryl Burton was five times world-pursuit champion, thirteen times national champion, twice road-racing world champion and twelve times national champion. Her accolades include time trials, former world-record holder, former British record-holder, numerous sports awards an MBE and an OBE. Burton was one of the most astonishing sports people ever to have lived, but she remains something of a mystery.Beryl, which celebrates the extraordinary sporting achievements of this inspirational cyclist, has been specially commissioned as an adaptation from Maxine Peake's acclaimed 2012 Radio 4 play and marks her stage-writing debut. It received its world premiere on 30 June 2014 at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in the Courtyard Theatre. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In her first collection of plays, writer and BAFTA-nominated actor Maxine Peake introduces four unique stories of resistance and passion based on real women. From the famous Leeds-born cyclist Beryl Burton battling through various obstacles to achieve success; to Lillian Bilocca, the 'headscarf revolutionary'; to four bold women protesting for Women Against Pit Closures, occupying a coal pit over Easter weekend in 1993; to former MP Baroness Betty Boothroyd, the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House of Commons. Follow these women as Peake guides you through their stories with warmth and Northern candor. Beryl (2014): '.it is impossible to puncture the play's warmth. Beryl ensures audiences are holding on tight to the handlebars before rushing off with zeal into the life of a woman who deserves to be better known.' - Broadway World UKThe Last Testament of Lillian Bilocca (2017): 'Last Testament is exhilarating and moving, a show made for and with the people of Hull. It speaks truth to power and celebrates not just Bilocca but all the women who refuse to be shut up - then and now.' - The StageQueens of the Coal Age (2018): '.a welcome corrective. a fierce cry for recognition, foregrounding the grit and resolve of the miners' wives who kept the strike of 1984-85 alive and went down fighting in the industry's dying days.' - Guardian'Betty!' A Sort of Musical (2023): '.a timely and refreshing reminder that sometimes our politicians can have noble intentions. a charmingly daft comic biography of Baroness Betty Boothroyd, who resolutely held power to account across her groundbreaking, decades-long career.' - The Stage Maxine Peake, three-time BAFTA-nominated actor, writer, director and producer, has enjoyed a prolific career as a performer for screen and theatre, and as a writer for stage and radio. On television she has starred in Shameless, The Village, Anne, and Say Nothing; while her film roles have included The Theory of Everything, Peterloo, Funny Cow, and Words of War. In addition to being an acclaimed playwright, Maxine has led a diverse range of stage plays such as The Welkin, Hamlet and A Streetcar Named Desire.…
