To add to the challenge, the four actors are carrying all the required set, props, costumes and camping equipment around with them.

All set and props used in the productions are restricted only to items that could be found either on a bicycle or in a campsite, with the team’s bikes rigged up to power various mechanical contraptions onstage.

Their Gainsborough performance starts at 7pm and tickets priced £10 (£8 concessions) are available online at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-handlebards-present-the-comedy-of-errors-tickets-11367401203
