Tim Woodward had an extensive career in theatre. He was Laertes in Lindsay Anderson’s Hamlet at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, Claudio in the National Theatre’s Much Ado About Nothing (both 1981) and Hippolytus opposite Glenda Jackson in Phedre at the Old Vic (1984). With me, he founded The Group, which produced seven plays mainly from continental Europe on the London fringe (1983-88). He also played Quentin, the leading part in my production of Arthur Miller’s After The Fall, at the Lyric theatre, Belfast (1989).
Opposite Diana Rigg, he played Jason in Medea at the Almeida, Wyndham’s and on Broadway (1992-94). In 1998 he began a relationship with the Tricycle (now the Kiln) in north-west London with an Irish version of Dance of Death, followed by The Colour of Justice (1999), Ten Rounds, a Belfast La Ronde (2002), and The Riots (2011).
