Moira Furnace is staging an all-female production of Macbeth this evening (Friday) - and is the venue for another play in two weeks' time.

The Furnace says: "Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a three-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.

"Join the all-female troupe at the furnace for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare's classic.

Forget the tears and tragedy - this is a frantic, delirious, full-of-beans show like you've never seen before.

"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!

"We will be running a BBQ and bar to keep you and the cast fuelled up. Adults - £15."

Next month, on Thursday, August 5, there is a production of Boudica.

Wild Geese Theatre Company are bringing their interactive outdoor family theatre to the Moira Furnace.

The Wild Geese website says: "One woman stands against the greatest civilisation ever known. She fights for the freedom of her people. Rome is formidable. But she is fierce. She won't back down. The question is...should she?

"Boudica is a fast-paced, action-packed show steered by charming characters, with an innovative approach to engaging with the audience.

"We use experienced facilitators to bring the children into the world of the play, welcoming their input -whether that's through rhythmic participation, atmospheric activities or playing key characters. The story is dramatically told from both sides, challenging the children to ask...Who am I going to fight for?

"The Wild Geese have over 15 years of experience creating active and immersive theatre for children. With accessibility and inclusivity at the heart of everything we do, this epic taleincorporates interactive storytelling techniques that brings children into the world of the play.

"We put our audience at the centre of the action; they are not just watching a play, they are in one. For ages 5 - 11 years and families. 75 mins."
