Biography

‘I adored my time at BOVTS, made lifelong friendships and, more than anything, came away with a work ethic and a willingness to knuckle down. Classes in the sunshine on the Downs! Heaven.’

Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman CBE graduated from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in 1999. She’s known for her roles in The Favourite, The Crown, Fleabag and Peep Show.

As soon as I visited the School, I fell in love with the place. Perhaps it sounds a bit irrational, but sometimes you get a vibe - and you just know! BOVTS gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for a career as an actor. Sahir Mehta, MA Professional Acting, 2018
