Blue Apple’s Artistic Director Richard Conlon is taking on a special cycle ride on 23 April to raise funds for our summer production of Macbeth and give Blue Apple's cast the chance to step on stage with the professional support of a creative team of set and lighting design, audio/visual artists, musician and costume designer.
On 23 April, the day that is universally celebrated as Shakespeare’s birthday, Richard aims to ride from Royal Shakespeare Company’s theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Having cycled roughly 200 kilometres carrying a crown - on loan from the Royal Shakespeare Company - Richard will ceremoniously ‘crown’ actor Lawrie Morris at the completion of his ride at Theatre Royal Winchester.
Listen to Richard telling Sam Fraser about it on the BBC Radio Solent Lou Hannan show at 16:10 on 14/04/22
