Story

On this 200km ride Richard and Michael will be carrying a crown that has been kindly loaned by the Royal Shakespeare Company from Stratford Upon Avon to Winchester. We are raising funds to support the creation of a version of Macbeth which will showcase the talents and passions of performers with a learning disability. 

For two men in their late fifties, these 124 miles will be a real challenge. The support given will 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. We're changing the world, one show at a time!
