Bristol Shakespeare Festival: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
- Artists
- The Handlebards, Shakespeare
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 over the possession of a boy. A group of amateur actors share the same forest. They’re rehearsing for a play. Fairies and humans collide. Hilarity ensues.
Join the HandleBards’ all-male troupe at this year’s Bristol Shakespeare Festival for A Midsummer Night’s Dream as you’ve never seen it before. The Handlebards are troupes of cycling actors who carry with them all of the necessary set, props and costume to perform extremely energetic, charmingly chaotic, environmentally sustainable Shakespeare plays across the globe. “Gloriously eccentric and very, very funny” – The Stage.
2.30pm & 6.30pm, £16/£6 concs, For more info, visit www.bristolshakespearefestival.org.uk/events/hb-17
