Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on theback of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who arespending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare tovenues across the UK. Join the troupe at Southwark Cathedral for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s‘ Much Ado About Nothing’ like you’ve 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 what’s the play about? Well-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 becomeentangled withscheming, frivolity and melodrama in Shakespeare’s famouscomedy.

Please note there will be very limited seating due to this performance taking place outside in our historic churchyard. We strongly advise you bring a chair or blanket. There will be a cash bar available to buy drinks and snacks.

Gates open at 6pm.

Southwark Cathedral

Southwark Cathedral has been a place of Christian worship for over 1000 years. Established as a small convent, it grew over the centuries into a priory, which became a parish church and then, in 1905, the Cathedral for the newly created Diocese of Southwark which serves the whole of London south of the river.

The Cathedral’s patchwork architecture bears testament to its past as do the many monuments and memorials inside and outside the church. These are reminders of the rich history of this part of London and our association with such major figures in our creative history, including Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens.

Southwark Cathedral is a place of worship, welcome and friendship, to rejoice in or find rest when you’re weary. We are London’s community Cathedral striving to live the example of Jesus, seeking to be a spiritual home for all and set at the heart of Bankside, buzzing with people and activity, a vibrant cultural and commercial destination.
