Extended Board Games with Clare for ages 8+
This session is all about having fun, enjoying some friendly competition, and spending time together.
Romeo and Juliet for all ages
Overview
Join The HandleBards at The Kingfisher Kiosk at Conyngham Hall for a side-splitting pedal-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
In fair Verona Romeo and Juliet fall in love, then things get really complicated. Cue feuding families, a morning marriage and city street sword fights, which swiftly lead to a friar fuelled fiasco... Forget the sighs and sadness, our ludicrous love story is suitable for all the family (feuding or otherwise).
Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their
bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.
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! Food and drink is also available from The Kingfisher Kiosk!

blankets and any other low-backed accessories are welcome.
