Much Ado About Nothing
Outdoor Theatre by the HandleBards
1st June 2025
TIMES Open *.**pm Starts *.**pm TICKETS £** Online |
In their usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a greatdeal of laughter. |
Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.
WHAT'S THE PLAY ABOUT?
A group of soldiers return from the war to a household in Messina, kindling new love interests and re-kindling old rivalries. The parallel love stories of Beatrice, Benedick, Claudio and Hero quickly become entangled with scheming, frivolity and melodrama in Shakespeare’s famous comedy.
Join the troupe at The Sustainability Centre for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ like you’ve never seen before.
