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 who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.

Join the troupe here at Blackhorse Workshop for a fantastically funny bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’. In the Forest of Arden the stage is set for a full-throttle joyride of wooing, hilarious mistaken identity and the odd wrestling match.
