A Midsummer Night's Dream - Outdoor Theatre
Watch a fast-paced, charmingly chaotic interpretation of the classic Shakespeare comedy by the intrepid Handlebards who carry their costumes, props and entire set on their bikes!
- Booking essential
Be enchanted by The Handlebards as they perform their take on A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is fast, funny and fearless. If you’ve never seen Shakespeare before, there’s no better introduction.
Join The HandleBards in the garden at Dudmaston Hall for an all-male, bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Four young lovers find themselves enveloped in the dream-like arms of a magical forest full of sprites, where a feuding Fairy King and Queen are at war. The performance is 2hrs with a 20min interval, and will be theatre in the round (360 view).
Handlebards the cycling performers ( they won the Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award in 2014 and were nominated 2015, 2016).
