The Handlebards return to Helix Park later this year to entertain Falkirk Shakespeare fans young and old with a tale of Scottish murder most foul.

The travelling theatre group will be performing Macbeth at the home of the world famous Kelpies from 7pm on Tuesday, August 11.

Armed with a sense of adventure and a love of Shakespeare, four friends known collectively as the Handlebards first pedalled into people’s lives back in 2013.

Cycling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the troupe are this year making HandleBards history by embarking on their longest tour ever, covering some 1800 miles.

A Handlebards spokesbloke said: “Our take on Shakespeare is fast, funny and fearless. If you’ve never seen Shakespeare before, there’s no better introduction. If you’re a Bard buff, you’ve never seen it done like this.”

Prithee let us hope they be not too cream crackered to murder Macbeth.
