Handlebards performs Twelfth Night in Southwell Minster Palace Gardens

Handlebards theatre company pedals into the Palace Gardens at Southwell Minster on Saturday (September 3) for a production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but she won’t have anything to do with suitors. Viola is shipwrecked and believes her twin brother Sebastian to be dead.

Meanwhile, a bunch of Olivia’s servants plot to make a fool out of her pompous butler, Malvolio.

There’s drunkenness, frivolity and cross-dressing a plenty.

This is an outdoor production so take a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather. Tickets can be bought in advance, or on the gate.

Doors open at 5.30pm for the performance at 6.30pm.
