The Handlebards are to perform Macbeth at Southwell soon (Photo credit: Shaun Jackson) Southwell Minster and the Archbishop’s Palace, July 24, 7pm. Cycling from theatre to farm, from castle to park, The HandleBards are an all-female company touring their irreverent Macbeth across the UK.The most environmentally-friendly Shakespearean theatre company there is will be packing The Scottish Play onto their bikes and taking it to outdoor venues.The Handlebards have said about their return to live action: “We have some loyal venues we’ve been visiting since our first year and some brand new venues too that we’re very excited to be visiting.”To ensure good sight lines for a socially distanced audience, the company is using a bespoke wooden stage with bicycle powered mechanisms, in order to keep their emissions as low as possible.Forget the tears and tragedy – this is a frantic, delirious, bike-powered farce.
