The Scottish Play

Bard in the YardThis event has now finished

William Shakespeare is stuck. Blank parchment stuck. He's trying to write a new masterpiece and has the weight of his company's eager return to the stage on his shoulders. What's more, he's been sent to Scotland to write a play, but apart from meeting a witch and penning a rough draft of a speech about a dagger, he's got nothing! The King will have his head on a stick if Will dares show his quill in London without a Scottish play. Can you help the greatest playwright of all time overcome his writer's block?

With accolades from The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent and The Stage, plus a patronage from Dame Helen Mirren, Bard in the Yard is a project which brings together a seasoned ensemble of actors from all over England and Scotland with credits from the RSC, the National Theatre, the BBC and more.

Expect a roller-coaster ride across classic monologues and Scottish landscapes as Bard Kaya Bucholc arrives in Dorset this spring to present a funny, moving and immersive experience.

Originally from Canada, actor Kaya Bucholc moved to London in 2017 to do her masters degree in classical acting, graduating from LAMDA in 2018.
