Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Handlebards open air theatre on Brownsea - Much ado about nothing.
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 on Brownsea Island 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.
Bring your friends and family for an unforgettable evening of theatre in one of the UK's most beautiful settings. Don't forget your picnic blanket and chairs for a cosy experience.
