The HandleBards
"Explodes with energy, a genuine treat from start to finish."
The Stage
We are the HandleBards: cycling Shakespearean actors who carry all of our set, props and costumes on the back of our bikes, performing extremely energetic, charmingly chaotic and environmentally sustainable Shakespeare plays across the UK. We specialise in open air theatre, but we’re really happy performing anywhere: theatres, castles, gardens, bicycle shops, pub gardens and schools. You name it, we’ve probably performed there!
Tickets are now on sale for The Comedy of Errors, which we’re cycling to outdoor venues across the UK in 2024, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which we’re bringing to indoor theatres and outdoor venues throughout the year.
Ride on dear friends.
