HandleBards - Midsummer Nights Dream

An evening with Shakespeare at Rock Hall, Alnwick

The world's first cycling theatre company, The HandleBards, pedal from venue to venue with all the set, props and costume necessary to perform environmentally sustainable Shakespeare across the globe. In 2017, they bring us all-male 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and all-female 'As You Like It'. Find out more information and get tickets at www.handlebards.com.

Join The HandleBards in the beautiful grounds of Rock Hall, Alnwick for an all-male, bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in support of the North Northumberland Hospice.

Four young lovers find themselves enveloped in the dream-like arms of a magical forest full of sprites, where a feuding Fairy King and Queen are at war. A group of amateur actors share the same forest. They’re rehearsing for a play. Fairies and humans collide. Hilarity ensues.

In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.

Come and see the play...bring a picnic, escape into a make-believe World of Shakespearian Tragedy and Comedy. We present four actors and their bikes riding from London to Edinburgh with props and tents on board!
