Beryl: Maxine Peake and James Brining talk Beryl Burton

Filmed interview with Maxine Peake discussing her playwriting debut Beryl which begins at the Rose Theatre Kingston on Tue 8 Mar.
Peake’s witty and charming play celebrates the life of sporting legend Beryl Burton - the greatest woman on two wheels. When Beryl Charnock, met keen cyclist Charlie Burton she was smitten, not only with Charlie but by the thrill and freedom found on her bike. She would outwork the men in the rhubarb fields, she could outclass the cyclists on the road, and still find time to over-knit young Denise an enviable cycling jumper.
