Biography

Iona is specialising in Stage Management during her final year at BOVTS and has enjoyed maintaining carpentry skills during her studies. She recently completed a 5-week placement at the Donmar Warehouse as the Stage Management Intern on Macbeth, Directed by Max Webster.

Previous credits include: Stage Manager, A Very Expensive Poison (Circomedia), The Nobodies (The Wardrobe), Scenes with Girls (The Wardrobe).

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
