The Handlebards 

This is a lively comedy performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night by a traveling troupe of four on their third visit to Yangon. The high-energy performers are not afraid to swap characters or genders and use bicycles and instruments during the act too. The first performance takes place at The American Club on Friday and the second at the great venue of Pansodan Scene Rooftop on Saturday.
