2026 BA Professional Acting graduate Olivia Carville will be Isabella from Measure for Measure in a special celebration of Shakespeare’s work this August.
From 29–31 August, Walk the Bard will transform the hidden gardens of London’s Middle Temple into a live, immersive theatrical adventure, bringing together six curated scenes from Shakespeare’s most treasured plays, set across the decades, all exploring love, laughter and heartbreak.
Created especially for this extraordinary setting, Walk the Bard takes audiences on a captivating stroll through the beautiful Elm Court Garden. Led by a playful Elizabethan fool, reimagined for the modern day, visitors move through the gardens as the stories unfold around them in a theatrical experience unlike any other in London.
Wearing immersive audio headsets, audiences are drawn into every whispered secret and every sound, from the joyful bustle of a summer wedding to the gentle chirping of Tuscan crickets, as though they are part of the story themselves.
Performed by an exceptional cast of emerging actors, Walk the Bard offers an intimate and contemporary interpretation of Shakespeare, alongside the unique opportunity to experience theatre at the very site where Twelfth Night is thought to have been first performed.
We are excited that BOVTS alumna Amanda Redman is directing the show – it’s always wonderful to see BOVTS alumni working together from different graduation cohorts.
