The Devil’s Wheel
A New Play by Vincent Delaney
In 1894 young Annie Londonderry became the first woman to bicycle solo around the world, setting off a firestorm in the early women’s movement. She ditched her corset, sold advertising, worked the press in every country, and won a massive wager when she returned home to Boston in only 18 months—although she’d never ridden a bike before her adventure. But her victory came with terrifying costs.
The Devil's Wheel is a part of the Owl New Play Festival.
