Christopher Shutt

Sound Designer


Biography

Christopher trained in Technical Theatre at the BOVTS in 1981/2. He has since been Head of Sound at the Bristol Old Vic, Royal Court Theatre London and the National Theatre. He is now a multi-award-winning Sound Designer working all over the world. He won a Tony Award for War Horse.

He received an honorary degree from the School in 2018.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
