The Kneebone Cadillac is about a sport in which community is fostered yet collisions are encouraged. Actors, audiences and drivers explain the rush<\/p>\n
Lexi Crosbie was five days old when she went to her first ever banger race. \u201cI grew up around the track,\u201d the 14-year-old says. At nine, her racer dad gave her a chance at the Micro F2s, the junior league, and Crosbie has been racing ever since. \u201cYou\u2019re so filled with adrenaline,\u201d she says of the motorsport. \u201cIt\u2019s the best feeling ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
This month, Crosbie went to her local Cornish track, United Downs Raceway (also known as St Day), for a different kind of event. The Kneebone Cadillac, Carl Grose\u2019s raucous play about a banger racer and her family, is set and performed on the track. For Crosbie, it was her first ever theatre show. \u201cI really enjoyed it,\u201d she says. \u201cMy whole family did.\u201d Director Kyla Goodey has loved seeing how many racers have come along, when theatre isn\u2019t part of their regular lives. \u201cIt\u2019s been a bridging of worlds,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what we wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
