Synopsis

Featuring a bicycle played as a musical instrument, it charts the feminist history of the bicycle, and tells the story of Annie Londonderry, first woman to ride around the world on a bike in 1895. The play begins with a bicycle and collates a history of feminist self-performance through music and play. Beginning amidst the first wave of feminism, SPIN moves through a trans-historical journey, telling the story of Annie Londonderry, an accidental feminist icon and a cyclist with global aspirations. Two endings are provided; the one that became its ultimate ending and then the original ending added as an appendix.
