Mark Rylance

Actor and Director

One of Britain’s greatest Shakespearean actors of recent times, Mark Rylance is also a renowned playwright and theatre director. Having won a scholarship to RADA, Rylance trained there from 1978 before going on to play a host of iconic roles including the eponymous anti-hero in Richard III, Olivia in an all-male production of Twelfth Night and a vicious Hamlet, attaining critical acclaim, three Tony Awards, an Olivier and a BAFTA along the way. He was the first director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London where he worked for ten years, and his first play, I Am Shakespeare, was published in 2012. Rylance also has a host of film and television credits to his name and is currently appearing as Thomas Cromwell in an upcoming BBC adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall.
