Much Ado about Nothing - Open Air theatre

The HandleBards arrive by bike, carrying all their props and costumes for a fast-paced, outdoor performance of Much Ado About Nothing - a tale of love, rivalry, and mischief.

Join the troupe at Stow Hall Gardens for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare's ‘Much Ado About Nothing' like you've never seen before. In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.

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

And what's the play about? Well-a group of soldiers return from the war to a household in Messina, kindling new love interests and re-kindling old rivalries. The parallel love stories of Beatrice, Benedick, Claudio and Hero quickly become entangled with scheming, frivolity and melodrama in Shakespeare's famous comedy

This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!
