Bard in the Yard is a Covid-19 inspired project founded on the legend that Shakespeare wrote King Lear and Macbeth in plague quarantine. Two 1-hour plays, King Leonardo and The Scottish Play, by writer/director Victoria Gartner, are based on the premise that the Bard is not finding lockdown inspiring and desperately needs the audiences help to write a masterpiece. Each solo piece is performed by one of our 19 Bards across the UK in a private garden, a venue, or any suitable space really.
