Bard in the Yard - a play

You will have a rollercoaster journey with Shakespeare himself, and be transported back in time!

About this Event

The year is 1605, London is besieged by plague, and William Shakespeare is battling a severe case of writer’s block and quarantine procrastination. So far, he has a working title for his next smash hit: “King Leonardo” ... and that’s about it. In search of inspiration and in the hope of reigniting the Bard blockbuster-machine, Will undertakes to directly engage with you, the audience.

His purpose: to understand the success of his previous box-office hits, and remind himself of the ingredients for a truly great play. And time is of the essence - he must write a masterpiece before Ben Jonson beats him to it! The big question: has Shakespeare still got it?

So come join Will & Co for this “funny and moving, not to mention immersive” (The Independent) outdoor experience!
