HandleBards’ – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

 

The critically acclaimed HandleBards are back! Join them at Diss Park for their hilarious, high octane performance of Shakespeare’s best and most enduring comedy. 

 

Four young lovers find themselves lost in a magical forest, where the Fairy King and Queen are fighting for the possession of a changeling boy. A group of amateur actors head to the same forest to rehearse for a play. Humans and fairies collide and hilarity ensues.
