Theatre group The Handlebards return to Bootham in October 2015 to perform their version of Hamlet.
About The Handlebards:
" 4 men, 4 bikes and some pretty extreme Shakespearean adventures."
After hugely successful tours in the summers of 2013 and 2014, described by none other than Sir Ian McKellen as 'uproariously funny', the HandleBards are back on their bikes for their most diverse season to date. Hamlet and A Midsummer Night's Dream are touring the country as we speak - and we think they may just be ourt best yet!
The HandleBards do Shakespeare differently - performing with eight very sore legs, and using their bikes to power various surprises and contraptions on-stage, whilst playing ALL the parts in Directors James Farrell (RSC, West End, Chichester Festival Theatre) and Emma Sampson's (of Riff Raff fame) hillarious 1930s indie-folk romps.
