14th August 2018 : 17:00 Doors Open, Performance: 18:30-22:00
Join the HandleBards 2018 Summer Tour for a unique open air performance of this Shakespeare classic at Northumberlandia.
The world’s first cycling theatre company, The HandleBards, pedal from venue to venue with all the set, props and costume necessary to perform environmentally sustainable Shakespeare across the globe.
Join their all-male troupe at beautiful Northumberlandia for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night like none other. In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos and a great deal of laughter.
And what is the play about? Well – Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but she won’t have anything to do with suitors. Viola is shipwrecked and believes her twin brother Sebastian to be dead. Meanwhile, a bunch of Olivia’s servants plot to make a fool out of her pompous Butler, Malvolio. There’s drunkenness, frivolity and cross-dressing a plenty!
