Boys' Tour- Much Ado About Nothing

In Summer 2019, The HandleBards with their all-male troupe are cycling across the UK bringing their unique brand of Shakespeare to all corners of the country, before touring internationally.

They are cycling actors who carry all the set, props and costume needed to perform extremely energetic, charmingly chaotic and environmentally sustainable Shakespeare plays across the globe.

About the show
A group of soldiers return from the war to a household in Messina, causing the kindling of new love interests and the re-kindling of old rivalries. The parallel love stories of Beatrice, Benedick, Claudio and Hero become entangled with plotting, frivolity and melodrama in Shakespeare’s famous comedy.

The HandleBards hope to see you soon. And if you see them cycling by, give them a wave…
Ride on!

Sir Ian McKellen describes the eccentric troupe and their fast-paced farces as “outrageous” and “uproariously funny”.
