The HandleBards are proud to present their first ever all-female troupe! After cycling 1,000 miles from London to Edinburgh, the four-strong troupe present Shakespeare's play as you've never seen it before - fast-paced, irreverent and bicycle powered. Since 2013, the HandleBards have pedalled over 5,000 miles across the world, carrying their set, props and costumes on just four bicycles. Bring a picnic, bring some friends and join us in the beautiful botanic garden for an evening that promises to be 'gloriously eccentric and very, very funny' (Stage, on A Midsummer Night's Dream).
