CADEL: Lungs on Legs

ONE ACTOR. ONE BIKE. ONE DREAM.

Connor Delves stars as Cadel Evans in CADEL: Lungs On Legs, the London premiere of the smash-hit play about the first Australian to win the Tour de France. CADEL: Lungs on Legs is a groundbreaking play set in motion by award-winning Australian actor Connor Delves. Performed entirely on a bicycle, this one man show captures the drive and determination of Cadel Evans and explores his inspiring true story as the first Australian to win the Tour de France. 

Pedalling non-stop for over an hour, Delves immerses the audience in the highs and lows, heartaches and sacrifices of Cadel Evans’ 2011 victory.
