Join the troupe at Painswick Rococo Garden for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeareâs âMuch Ado About Nothingâ like youâve 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 whatâs the play about? Well â 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 become entangled with scheming, frivolity and melodrama in Shakespeareâs famous comedy.
