A Midsummer Night’s Dream
The HandleBards return to Giggleswick on their 10th anniversary tour with a brand-new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Pedalling around the UK by bicycle, with all the necessary set, props and costume in tow, the HandleBards return by popular demand – and, as usual, we can expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.
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 an Indian boy. A group of amateur actors share the same forest. They’re rehearsing for a play. Fairies and humans collide. Hilarity ensues.
Running time (approx): 2hrs (including 20-minute interval). Suitable for: all ages 5+
This is an outdoor production, so please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather! For more details on how to find the venue and what to bring please click HERE
