Tim has been a stage actor for many years. Early on he was in musicals such as Godspell (toured Germany) and the Arnold Bennett adaptation The Card as well as Ernest in The Importance of Being Ernest. His first professional role was for 'the seminal physical theatre company' (Prof Mike Pearson, Uni. of Wales) RAT theatre company in a show called Suit of Lights about bullfighting and in which he came off stage literally with bloodied limbs. He then played in a variety of more traditional plays by playwrights such as Shakespeare, Chekov, Brecht, Strindberg, Ayckbourn, Priestly and Howard Barker.
He performed at the Edinburgh Festival with a children's play Princess and also in the Gay Sweat Shop play This Island's Mine by Philip Osment. For Barebones Theatre Company he was the Marquis de Sade in a very physical rendition of Peter Weiss' Marat/Sade and also wrote and acted in The Collector adapted from John Fowles novel . He played Snout from a Midsummers Night's Dream as part of the RSC's Open Stages programme and Macbeth for the Open Theatre Group's production of Shakespeare's tragedy. In the last couple of years he's toured and worked as both an actor and writer with Voices of the Holocaust and Carabosse Theatre Company (as both writer and actor on their major adaptation of Mervyn Peake's Penguin Classic Gormenghast endorsed by his son Fabian Peake). At present he continues his work with Carabosse. In June 2015 he completed a nationwide tour as CSM on Big Pants and Botox by Louise Roche and starring The Bill's Mary Jo Randle. |

REVIEWS Gormenghast (2014) World premiere and first major stage adaptation of Mervyn Peake's Penguin Classic. Officially endorsed by Fabian Peake and the Mervyn Peake estate. Tim Dalgleish was a co-writer and actor (Dr Alfred Prunesquallor) on this ambitious project for Carabosse Theatre. Peake's book is a cult classic with many extreme, odd and amusing characters: Steerpike, Swelter, Fuschia, Lord and Lady Groan and the Prunesquallors. 'The set was itself a tour de force... An excellent performance... from a company that needs no encouragement ... an inspired cast' MK Pulse Magazine '...a marvellous evening... a wonderful and impressive show' Fabian Peake Fragile Fire (2013) A true story from the Second World War based on the events of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the resistance leader Mordechai Anielewicz. Tim Dalgleish was a co-writer (and actor) on this play for Voices of the Holocaust Theatre Company (www.voicesoftheholocaust.co.uk) an international and UK touring company dedicated teaching the history of the holocaust. 'Sensitively acted and produced' playstosee.com ☆☆☆☆ A Midsummer Night's Dream (2011) 'I was delighted to see Tim Dalgleish show his range playing two characters that couldn’t be more different: the uptight, pompous Egeus and the childishly enthusiastic Snout The Tinker.'
