Romeo and Juliet

Described by none other than Sir Ian McKellen as uproariously funny, the HandleBards present Shakespeares plays as youve never seen them before - fast-paced, irreverent and bicycle-powered.

Since 2013, the HandleBards have pedalled over 5000 miles across the world, carrying all their set, props and costumes on just four bicycles. 2016, the 400th anniversary of Shakespeares death, sees the first outing of their all-female troupe. On 26th July theyre stopping off at Theatre Delicatessen, to perform their side-splitting production of Shakespeares epic tale of two lovers whove everything stacked against them. Expect a gloriously eccentric and very, very funny (The Stage, on A Midsummer Nights Dream) night, delivered on eight very sore legs. The girls will be accompanied by live music from a local musician.
