Early acting career

Aged 19 he joined the Unity Theatre in Kings Cross. The Unity Theatre was a Theatre club formed in 1936 and initially based in St Judes Hall Britannia Street Kings Cross in 1937 they moved to a former chapel in Goldington Kings Cross is an area of London partly in the London Borough of Camden and partly in the London Borough of Islington. Five years later he wrote a letter to Michael MacLiammoir, the Irish theatre impresario who ran Dublin's Gate Theatre. Micheál MacLíammóir (born Alfred Willmore) ( October 25, 1899 &ndash March 6, 1978) was an Irish Actor, The Gate Theatre, in Dublin, was founded in 1928 by Hilton Edwards and Micheál MacLiammoir, initially using the Abbey Theatre 's Peacock studio It was accompanied by a CV describing a rich and wholly imaginary theatre career – and he was taken on.

Gambon made his professional stage début in the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin's 1962 production of Othello, playing "Second Gentleman", followed by a European tour. The Gaiety Theatre is a theatre on South King Street in Dublin, Ireland, off Grafton Street and close to St A year later, cheekily auditioning with the opening soliloquy from Richard III, he caught the eye of star-maker Laurence Olivier who was recruiting promising spear-carriers for his new National Theatre Company. Laurence Kerr Olivier Baron Gambon, along with Robert Stephens, Derek Jacobi and Frank Finlay, was hired as one of the ‘to be renowned’ and played any number of small roles. Sir Robert Stephens ( 14 July 1931 &ndash 12 November 1995) was a leading actor in the early years of England's Royal National Theatre Sir Derek George Jacobi CBE (ˈdʒækəbi born 22 October, 1938) is an English Actor and Film director, knighted Francis "Frank" Finlay, CBE (born 6 August 1926) is a British stage film and television Actor. The company initially performed at the Old Vic, their first production being Hamlet, directed by Olivier and starring Peter O'Toole. The Old Vic is a Theatre located just south-east of Waterloo Station in London on the corner of The Cut and Waterloo Road. Hamlet is a Tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601 Peter O'Toole (born 2 August 1932) is an Irish and British actor who achieved instant stardom in 1962 playing T He played for four years in many NT productions, including named roles in The Recruiting Officer and The Royal Hunt of the Sun, working with directors William Gaskill and John Dexter.

Work in the theatre

After three years at the Old Vic, Olivier advised Gambon to gain experience in provincial rep. In 1967, he left the NT for the Birmingham Repertory Company which was to give him his first crack at the title roles in Othello (his favourite), Macbeth and Coriolanus. Birmingham Repertory Theatre (commonly called Birmingham Rep or just The Rep) is a Theatre and theatre company based on Centenary Square in

His rise to stardom began in 1974 when Eric Thompson cast him as the melancholy vet in Alan Ayckbourn's The Norman Conquests at Greenwich. Eric Norman Thompson ( November 9, 1929 - November 30, 1982) was an English Actor, producer and Television Sir Alan Ayckbourn CBE (born 12 April 1939 is a popular and prolific English playwright The Norman Conquests is a Trilogy of plays written in 1973 by Alan Ayckbourn. A speedy transfer to the West End established him as a brilliant comic actor, squatting at a crowded dining table on a tiny chair and sublimely agonising over a choice between black or white coffee.

Back at the National, now on the South Bank, his next turning point was Peter Hall's premiere staging of Harold Pinter's Betrayal, an unexpectedly subtle performance — a production photograph shows him embracing Penelope Wilton with sensitive hands and long slim fingers (the touch of a master clock-maker). Penelope A Wilton OBE (born 3 June 1946) is an English actress. He is also one of the few actors to have mastered the harsh demands of the vast Olivier Theatre. The Royal National Theatre, located on the South Bank in the London Borough of Lambeth, England. As Simon Callow once said: “Gambon's ‘iron lungs and overwhelming charisma are able to command a sort of operatic full-throatedness which triumphs over hard walls and long distances. Simon Phillip Hugh Callow, CBE (born 15 June 1949) is an English stage, Film and Television Actor ”

This was to serve him in good stead in John Dexter's masterly staging of The Life of Galileo in 1980, the first Brecht to become a popular success. John Dexter ( 2 August 1925 - 23 March 1990) was an English award-winning Theatre, Opera, and Film Life of Galileo ( Leben des Galilei) also known as Galileo, is a play by the twentieth-century German Dramatist Bertolt Hall called him ‘unsentimental, dangerous and immensely powerful’, even the Sunday Times’ curmudgeonly critic of the day called his performance ‘a decisive step in the direction of great tragedy. . . great acting’, while fellow actors paid him the rare compliment of applauding him in the dressing room on the first night.

From the first Ralph Richardson dubbed him The Great Gambon, an accolade which stuck, outshining his 1990 CBE,[3] even the later knighthood, although Gambon dismisses it as a circus slogan. Sir Ralph David Richardson ( 19 December 1902 &ndash 10 October 1983) was an English Actor, one of a group of theatrical But as Sheridan Morley perceptively remarked in 2000, when reviewing Cressida: ‘Gambon's eccentricity on stage now begins to rival that of his great mentor Richardson’. Sheridan Morley (5 December 1941 − 16 February 2007 was an English author biographer critic director actor and broadcaster Also like Richardson, interviews are rarely given and raise more questions than they answer. Gambon is a very private person, a ‘non-starry star’ as Ayckbourn called him. Off-stage he prefers to back out of the limelight, an unpretentious guy sharing laughs with his fellow cast and crew.

While he has won screen acclaim, no-one who saw his ravaged King Lear at Stratford, while still in his early forties, will forget his superb double act with a red-nosed Antony Sher as the Fool sitting on his master's knee like a ventriloquist's doll. Sir Antony Sher KBE (born 14 June 1949) is a British actor writer theatre director and painter There were also notable appearances in Old Times at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, and as Volpone and the brutal sergeant in Pinter's Mountain Language.

David Hare's Skylight, with Lia Williams, which opened to rave reviews at the National in 1995, transferred first to Wyndhams Theatre and then on to Broadway for a four-month run which left him in a state of advanced exhaustion. David Hare can refer to David Hare (philanthropist (1775–1842 Scottish philanthropist David Hare (artist (1917–1992 U Lia Williams (born 26 November 1964 in England) is an award winning English Actress, notable for many stage film and television appearances “Skylight was ten times as hard to play as anything I’ve ever done” he told Michael Owen in the Evening Standard.

In 2001 he played what he described as “a physically repulsive’’ Davies in Patrick Marber's revival of Pinter's The Caretaker, but he found the rehearsal period an unhappy experience, and felt that he had let down the author. Patrick Albert Crispin Marber (born 19 September, 1964) is an English Comedian, Playwright, Director, Actor The Caretaker is a play by the Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter, first published in 1959. A year later, playing opposite Daniel Craig, he portrayed the father of a series of cloned sons in Caryl Churchill's A Number at the Royal Court, notable for a recumbent moment when he smoked a cigarette, the brightly lit spiral of smoke rising against a black backdrop, an effect which he dreamed up during rehearsals.
