Going for Gold: Me & Linford Christie by Victoria Beesley

A solo show about one girl’s journey to Olympic success.

About

Age suitability: 8+ (P5+)

Vickie wants to compete at the Olympics. There is only one obstacle; she isn’t very good at sport. Yet despite the odds, her love for athletics takes her all the way to London 2012. Inspired by Victoria’s own childhood obsession with athletics, this is a story about loving failure and dreaming big – even if there’s no chance you’ll make that dream come true.

Going for Gold: Me and Linford Christie will be touring Scottish schools in Spring 2024. For more information visit the Theatre in Schools Scotland website.
