Bard in The Yard is a project launched as a response to the closure of theatres due to the Covid-19 pandemic in Spring 2020. This offie-award nominated show brings Shakespeare to private gardens and outdoor spaces. Think 'Deliveroo', but for theatre. Now in our second year, we are proud to boast reviews from The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent, and a patronage from Dame Helen Mirren. I co-founded and launched alongside Writer & Director Victoria Baumgartner. I designed and developed systems to match actors with audiences, and I am responsible for the management of all operations including product development, logistics and marketing.
