While at Cambridge he received the RSC's Buzz Goodbody Award for his production of Edward Bond's Bingo (National Student Drama Festival, 1977). After Cambridge he worked at the Royal Court, assisting Samuel Beckett and John Osborne and directing Mike McGrath's The Key Tag and Nick Darke's The Catch in the Theatre Upstairs. In the early 1980s his productions included David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago at the Hampstead Theatre and Romeo and Juliet at the Young Vic. He also co-wrote (with Richard Maher) and directed The White Glove and Private Dick at the Lyric Hammersmith. He joined the RSC in 1985 as an assistant director. He worked on Bill Alexander's The Merry Wives of Windsor (RST, 1985), Terry Hands's Othello (RST, 1985) and Adrian Noble's Mephisto (Barbican, 1986). He was promoted to the directorial team and over the next four years directed strong, if unexciting, small-scale productions of The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet and The Constant Couple. Of more significance were his productions of new plays by Václav Havel, Nick Darke and Richard Nelson. A freelance director since 1991, he has directed Under Milk Wood (NT Olivier, 1995); Martin Sherman's Some Sunny Day (Hampstead Theatre, 1996); Harold Pinter's The Homecoming (NT Lyttelton, 1997); Joe Penhall's Blue/Orange (NT Cottesloe, 2000); and Joanna Murray-Smith's Honour (NT Cottesloe, 2003). His first screen piece, Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia (BBC, 1993), was as accomplished as his stage work. He has since directed Nick Dear's adaptation of Persuasion (BBC, 1995); Titanic Town (1998); My Night With Reg (BBC, 1998); Richard Curtis's Notting Hill (1999); Changing Lanes (2002); Kureishi's The Mother (2003); and Enduring Love (2004).
