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!

Through producing high quality theatre, dance and film we aim to challenge prejudice and transform the lives of people with a learning disability. Blue Apple is committed to the development of integrated and progressive opportunities within the arts for people with learning disabilities to raise the ceiling of expectation and advocate for the development of a more inclusive and equal society. The increase in confidence gained through stage performances has helped Blue Apple participants to enhance their social, personal and artistic skills and achieve public recognition for their talents.
