About this show
Set in Paris, during the 1924 Olympic Games, we see the struggles Eric Liddell faces around him in staying true to his principles. When given the chance to become the fastest man in the world, will his convictions buckle? Should he stay true to his beliefs? And can he bring home a medal for King and country? The production toured throughout 2024 to mark the centenary – including performances in Paris and the Royal Albert Hall. 'Searchlight elevate this from mere biography to an exploration of determination, ambition and faith' (ThreeWeeks). A winner.
