Enjoy ‘Shakespeare on a bike’ in association with Earth Trust at Little Wittenham

There’s always something special about open air theatre and the performance at the Earth Trust, Little Wittenham, will more than deliver courtesy of The HandleBards.

‘Shakespeare on a bike’ involves the four-strong troupe of actors pedalling from venue to venue complete with set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, bringing environmentally friendly theatre to venues across the country. The troupe are on tour from May to September during which time they’ll rack up more than 1,500 miles putting in more than 100 performances.

Join the troupe on Thursday, 11th July for a family friendly, bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors like you’ve never seen before!

When two sets of estranged twins are brought together on the same island be prepared for mistaken identity, music and manic costume changes a plenty…

This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!

Doors open at 6pm, the show is two hours long, 7pm-9pm with a 20 minute interval. Tickets: £19.50 adult, 21s & under £12.50, 12s & under £5+ booking fees. Under 5s free.

The HandleBards say: “Our take on Shakespeare is fast, funny and fearless. If you’ve never seen Shakespeare before, there’s no better introduction. If you’re a Bard buff, you’ve never seen it done like this…”
