Death of a Cyclist

About this book

Told by a woman killed in a cycling accident, Steve Waters' play Death of a Cyclist is a poignant, bleakly comic short monologue that imagines the moments after death, and our struggle to come to terms with the biggest shock of all.

It was first staged by Menagerie Theatre Company at Hotbed Festival in 2012.
