Nutter (re)stages play about a bicycle god. (It stars Homer Simpson)

The Bicycle Men is a play written by Mark Nutter and others. It stars Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, in his UK stage debut. The play runs from 6 November to 2 December at the King’s Head Theatre in London.

The Bicycle Men is about a hapless American tourist who crashes his bicycle and encounters the inhabitants of a sinister French village: think Le League of Gentlemen. Only the god of bicycles can rescue the play’s hero, Steve.

The Bicycle Men was orginally called Le Comedie du Bicyclette and premiered at Charna Halpern’s Los Angeles branch of the ImprovOlympic Theatre in 2003.
