Travelling troupe bring Shakespeare's 'Scottish Play' to Falkirk's Helix Park

The Handlebards will once again be parking up in Falkirk’s Helix Park as they perform Shakespeare for the masses.

The trio of performers spend the summer touring by electric van, bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK and on Tuesday, August 11 they will be performing Macbeth at the Helix from 7pm to 9pm.

A Handlebards spokesbloke said: “We all know the story. Three witches promise Macbeth the Scottish crown and, like many people would, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king.

"Things get rapidly out of hand from there. This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather. This is a ‘Pay What You Can’ performance, not ticketed, with admission on a first-come first-served basis.
