Rosamund Pike Competed Against Bristolians For Drama Prize

In a surprising discovery – whilst delving back into Bristol’s theatrical history – it turns out that British actress Rosamund Pike actually competed in a Bristol speech and drama competition back in the nineties.

The London born Academy Award nominated actress – who has picked up by a Laurence Olivier Award and Golden Globe Award – was actually educated at Badminton School in the Westbury on Trym area of Bristol.

Bristolians competed against her at the Speech and Drama part of the Bristol Eisteddfod held at the QEH Theatre in March 2024, not realising that she would go on to become one of Britain’s celebrated acting talents.

She took part in several competition classes for 14 year olds, including Solo Shakespeare, Solo Drama and Solo Poetry.
