Robert Icke Biography

Robert Icke is one of the most popular and richest Theatre Director who was born on November 29, 1986 in Stockton-on-Tees, England, United Kingdom. Oberon Books publishes all Icke’s adaptations, including Oresteia 1984, Uncle Vanya Mary Stuart, The Wild Duck, and his ‘performance text of Hamlet’.

Icke took over from Ben Power in 2010 as Rupert Goold’s Associate Director for Headlong. In his interview, he critiqued Goold’s production for Enron. First, he worked with Goold on the site-specific Decade in St Katharine’s Docks. The first tour productions of Romeo and Juliet he directed was at St Katharine’s Docks in 2013. It was a tour that he started in 2013, and then went on to Broadway.

The show that marked Icke as a major British talent was his 2015 Oresteia, the opening production of Goold and Icke’s ‘Almeida Greek’ season of Greek tragedy. A free adaptation of Aeschylus’ original running at nearly four hours with three intermissions, Icke added a self-penned prologue to the Aeschylus text concerning the sacrifice of Iphigenia: a “70-minute prequel that dramatises both what led up to that sacrifice and the act itself”, which critic Dominic Maxwell dubbed “a masterpiece”. Oresteia received rave reviews, won Icke several awards, and transferred to the West End.

Icke made his National Theatre debut with The Red Barn, starring Mark Strong and Elizabeth Debicki in 2016.

He was born in Stockton-on-Tees, to a non-theatrical household. As a teenager, he saw Richard III, starring Kenneth Branagh, and it inspired him to start writing and directing. In 2003, he founded Arden Theatre and over five years directed several shows at Arc Theatre. He attended the Ian Ramsey Church of England school and continued his studies at Cambridge University where Anne Barton taught him English.
