Maybe it is part of moving the Tricycle away from the `edgy' stuff it put on in the past. Either way, not a welcome change.Pete Firminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384894592271716201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-6622268893674532922018-04-11T17:48:44.972+01:002018-04-11T17:48:44.972+01:00This is the derivation of the name (from Wikipedia...This is the derivation of the name (from Wikipedia): The theatre opened on the Kilburn High Road, London, in 1980 as the permanent home of the Wakefield Tricycle Company, a touring theatre company that was known for producing British premieres, new writing, children's shows and theatre for the community in London and the South East. The Wakefield Tricycle Company had been started in 1972 by Ken Chubb and Shirley Barrie, performing initially in a room behind the Pindar of Wakefield pub in King's Cross. The name 'Wakefield Tricycle Company' was adopted as a pun on the Wakefield Cycle of mystery plays, the pub's name and the fact that the initial company had three members.Martin Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194641151012303116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-69705771790791022792018-04-11T17:23:27.516+01:002018-04-11T17:23:27.516+01:00It appears that anything that has some history in ...It appears that anything that has some history in Brent is being removed. The Tricycle Theatre may only be a name (in some people's eyes) but it is recognised by very many people in and out of Brent.
