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 The Corn Hall Diss for a fantastically funny bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’.

 

What’s the play about? Well - Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee to the Forest of Arden, where they bump into Rosalind’s love interest Orlando. However, Rosalind is disguised as a young man. Cue some local Shepherds getting involved and the stage is set for a wild ride of wooing, hilarious mistaken identity and the odd wrestling match.

 

Praise for previous HandleBards performances…

★★★★★ - “Explodes with energy and is a genuine treat from start to finish.” - The Stage

★★★★★ - “Five stars just don’t seem enough…” - The Sunderland Echo
