The HandleBards: A Midsummer Night's Dream

About

Join the HandleBards at Fishbourne Roman Palace for a hilarious, high-octane production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Four young lovers find themselves lost in a magical forest, where the Fairy King and Queen are fighting for the possession of a changeling boy. A group of amateur actors head to the same forest to rehearse for a play. Humans and fairies collide and hilarity ensues.

"Gloriously eccentric and very, very funny" ★★★★ The Stage

The HandleBards are a group of cycling Shakespearean actors who carry all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, performing extremely energetic, charmingly chaotic and environmentally sustainable Shakespeare plays across the UK.
This is an outdoor production, so please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!
