LONDON – The First Night Riders, a group of motorbike riding theatre professionals and their friends, will don their leathers and helmets to raise funds for The Theatrical Guild (TTG) once again in 2011. As in 2010, the one-week motorcycle ride is scheduled to visit notable U.K. theatres, with the addition this year of the Isle of Man and Stratford Upon Avon for a new production of Macbeth at the revamped Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
The 2011 ride starts at the National Theatre in London on June 18 and finishes June 25 at Alexandra Palace in North London. The group hopes to top the amount raised last year – nearly $20,000.
