SUMMARY:As You Like It
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin the troupe at Floors Castle for a fantastically funny bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’. \nWhat’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. \nThis is an outdoor production\, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on\, a picnic to dig into\, and dress for the weather! \nPraise for previous HandleBards performances… \n★★★★★ – “Explodes with energy and is a genuine treat from start to finish.” – The Stage \n★★★★★ – “Five stars just don’t seem enough…” – The Sunderland Echo \nNotes on Performance \n\nDoors open at 4pm\, so bring a picnic and come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.\nSeating isn’t provided by the venue so please make sure to bring your own – chairs\, picnics\, blankets and any other low-backed accessories are welcome.\nIn case of rain\, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching\, so please wear these instead.\nThis is an outdoors performance and surfaces may be uneven – please contact enquiries@floorscastle.com for any access enquiries.\n\nImportant Ticket Conditions – Please Read \n\nTickets will also be available to purchase on the day at the venue for £21 each\, subject to availability. If the show sells out in advance then tickets may not be available on the door so early booking is encouraged!\nYou can bring your tickets digitally\, on a phone or tablet\, so save the trees and please don’t print them.

Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching\, so please wear these instead.\nThis is an outdoors performance and surfaces may be uneven\, please see the below accessibility notes from the venue – if you have any access related questions ahead of the performance please get in touch!\nWharton Park is built on a hill and access for many visitors may be a problem. We have improved access to the park where possible but this is a difficult site due to the steep inclines around the park.\nHeritage Centre and viewing area access:\nFrom the car park located at the top of Framwellgate Peth you can access the Heritage Centre with ease and use our disabled viewing area to look down on the Amphitheatre and over the park and city.\nAmphitheatre and lower levels of the park access:\nShould you wish to access the Amphitheatre and lower level of the park such as the Community Garden area\, we would advise you to use the North Road ramped access point. Using this entrance will still involve an incline however this is far less steep than accessing via the upper car park.\n\nImportant Ticket Conditions – Please Read \n\nTickets will also be available to purchase on the day at the venue for £21 each\, subject to availability. If the show sells out in advance then tickets may not be available on the door so early booking is encouraged!\nYou can bring your tickets digitally\, on a phone or tablet\, so save the trees and please don’t print them.

All performances will be accessible without the need for audio description or adapting the show\, thanks to Extant’s tailored approach to integrating access\, alongside a bespoke Touch Tour. \nIf you’ve ever been trying to open a stubborn picnic package mid-show you’ve almost certainly been able to tell the different between an epic swordfight and someone being hit with a bike wheel by sound alone. That’s exactly how we’re integrating accessibility\, by being even more intentional with the audio elements of the show from the ground up – we won’t be changing Shakespeare’s text\, and you can expect the same joyous HandleBards show. \n‘Very descriptive and it allowed me to create a visual picture in my head.’ \nAt Norwich Playhouse\, we’ll also be offering a Touch Tour before the show. More information about how to book on to the touch tour can be found on the theatre’s website here. We recommend arriving at the venue 15 minutes before the touch-tour. \nAccompanying show notes and a digital programme can be downloaded here. \nThe notes encapsulate the visual aspects of the show and are written with access for visually impaired audiences at the core. The Touch Tour offers exploration of set\, props and costume: offering an immersive space in which to imagine the work before the show begins. \nNotes on Performance \n\nFor outdoor performances: in case of rain\, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching\, so please wear these instead.\nFor full ticket information and venue accessibility please see the venue’s website.

SUMMARY:As You Like It
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin the troupe at Blackhorse Workshop for a fantastically funny bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’. \nWhat’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. \nThis is an outdoor production\, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on\, a picnic to dig into\, and dress for the weather! \nPraise for previous HandleBards performances… \n★★★★★ – “Explodes with energy and is a genuine treat from start to finish.” – The Stage \n★★★★★ – “Five stars just don’t seem enough…” – The Sunderland Echo \nNotes on Performance \n\nDoors open at 6pm\, so bring a picnic and come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.\nSeating isn’t provided by the venue so please make sure to bring your own – chairs\, picnics\, blankets and any other low-backed accessories are welcome.\nIn case of rain\, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching\, so please wear these instead.\nThis is an outdoors performance and surfaces may be uneven – if you have any access related questions ahead of the performance please get in touch!\n\nImportant Ticket Conditions – Please Read \n\nTickets will also be available to purchase on the day at the venue for £21 each\, subject to availability. If the show sells out in advance then tickets may not be available on the door so early booking is encouraged!\nYou can bring your tickets digitally\, on a phone or tablet\, so save the trees and please don’t print them.
