Cycling theatre wheels into Lancaster Castle

Handlebards cycling theatre company will be performing at Lancaster Castle in August.

The Handlebards cycling theatre company will be performing Shakespeare plays at Lancaster Castle next month.

The troupe began life in 2013 as a group of entrepreneurial friends from university with a shared passion for travelling theatre.

They are touring more than 120 venues across the UK with an all-male production of Twelfth Night and an all-female production of Romeo and Juliet.

Both casts consist of only four actors, with the fast-paced multi-rolling that’s therefore required to perform the plays giving The HandleBards their unique brand of comedy.

The boys’ Twelfth Night is on August 1 at 6.30pm and the girls’ Romeo and Juliet is on August 2, again at 6.30pm.

Tickets from handlebards.com or visitor information centres.
