Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors. They are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK!  https://museumsandcastles.wakefield.gov.uk/whats-on/as-you-like-it

Join the troupe at Pontefract Castle for a fantastically funny bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’.

What’s the play about? Well – Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee to the Forest of Arden, where they bump into Rosalind’s love interest Orlando. However, Rosalind is disguised as a young man. Cue some local Shepherds getting involved and the stage is set for a wild ride of wooing, hilarious mistaken identity and the odd wrestling match!

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!
