Simon Callow was born in 1949 in London. He lived in Africa for three years, studied at the London Oratory School on his return and subsequently spent a year at Queen’s University Belfast, from which he ran away to become an actor. After three years training at the Drama Centre, he made his début at the Edinburgh Festival in 1973, playing the front end of a horse in Büchner’s Woyzeck. In 1979, he created the part of Mozart in the first production of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus. He has appeared extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, at the Royal Court, in the West End of London and all over the country. Over the years he has done a number of one-man shows including The Importance of Being Oscar and The Mystery of Charles Dickens. His films include Amadeus, A Room with a View, Shakespeare in Love, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Phantom of the Opera and Chemical Wedding. He has directed over thirty shows, including operas, written sixteen books and been closely involved in work with leading British orchestras.
