Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t

The world’s first cycling theatre company, The HandleBards, pedal from venue to venue with all the sets, props and costume necessary to perform environmentally sustainable Shakespeare across the globe.

Join the troupe in the beautiful surroundings of the Hall for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ like none other. In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.

What’s the play about? Three Witches promise Macbeth the Scottish crown and like any normal people would, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king. Things get rapidly out of hand from there as foul deeds are done, plots unravel and mysterious spirits appear…

The performance will be in the Great Hall and we will provide seating. There will also be tasty light snacks and refreshments available at an additional charge from The Merchants’ Coffee House available before the performance and at the interval.
