Experience a bicycle-powered performance of Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing' at Emmetts Garden!
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.
Join the troupe at Emmetts Garden for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ like you’ve never seen before. Expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.
What’s the play about? Well – 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.
Doors open at 4.00pm for a 5.00pm start, with the performance lasting two hours.
This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather! Please note, no pets allowed but assistance dogs are permitted at this performance.
