Join the troupe at Southwark Cathedral for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s‘ Much Ado About Nothing’ like you’ve never seen before.

In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter.

And what’s the play about? Well-a group of soldiers return from the war to a household in Messina, kindling new love interests and re-kindling old rivalries. The parallel love stories of Beatrice, Benedick, Claudio and Hero quickly becomeentangled withscheming, frivolity and melodrama in Shakespeare’s famouscomedy.

Please note there will be very limited seating due to this performance taking place outside in our historic churchyard. We strongly advise you bring a chair or blanket. There will be a cash bar available to buy drinks and snacks.
