"Trevithick!" is the gripping story of not just one of Cornwall's greatest sons, but one of the greatest men in history. Born in Tregajorran in Cornwall, Richard Trevithick revolutionised the use of steam as a successful and profitable means of energy, much to the terror of his rivals. Fear, death and industrial developments were rife in 1800 Great Britain, and it was Trevithick's genius that led to steam power being put on rails and roads- trains and cars respectively. But it was never easy. "Trevithick!" tells his story accurately, comically, musically and relevant to the world we live in today. It brings to the stage the story of a man who was so dedicated and obsessed by engineering, he left his family in Cornwall whilst he mined in South America for eleven years. Tinged by tragedy, steeped in accolade, loved by many, "Trevithick!" is a biographical comedy that will light a fire in your bellies, bring joy to your heart and set your brain whirring like a four way valve on a steam engine. This is the true story of a man who was as much magician and artist as he was engineer.
