Storyline
Gino Bartali, a well-known Tour de France cyclist who lives in Mussolini's Italy, is presented with a choice between fame, riches, and saving hundreds of lives in the moving story of Glory Ride. As he exploits his cycling career to carry out covert missions across Italy, including one that involves hiding forged identification cards and documents in his bicycle frame to aid persecuted Jews and refugees during World War II, Bartali becomes a symbol of rescue and resistance. This compelling story combines humour and humanity and is set against the Tuscan countryside's gorgeous hills. Grab your Glory Ride tickets now!

Charing Cross Theatre
The Charing Cross Theatre is a theatre located below Charing Cross station, beneath The Arches, off Villiers Street. The venue, which opened in 1936, had previously inhabited many locations in London's West End before settling on its current location. It is one of the smallest West End theatres, having been refurbished to fulfill the demands of national and international producers looking for a theatre with a sense of warmth and the feel of an Off-Broadway setting.
