About
Join The HandleBards open air theatre company for The Comedy of Errors at Severndroog Castle.
Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.
Join the troupe on the lawn below Severndroog Castle for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘The Comedy of Errors’ like you’ve never seen before.
When two sets of estranged twins are brought together on the same island, this classic comedy takes hold, with mistaken identity, music and manic costume changes a plenty.
* This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on and dress for the weather!
More information;
- Doors open at 6pm, so bring a picnic and come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
- Chairs, picnics, blankets and any other low level accessories are welcome.
- In case of rain on the day, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching, so please wear these instead.
- This is an outdoors performance and surfaces may be uneven – the castle sits in a woodland that is accessed by a short walk (100/150 meters), up a low slope from the car park.
