Background

Peter McKintosh was born in Liverpool, England in 1967. He attended secondary school at the co-educational private school, Plymouth College. Following this, he completed a term studying architecture at The Bartlett in London before enrolling for a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies at the University of Warwick. During his time there, he participated in the drama's society's recreation of Stephen Sondheim's Company. The performance was a resounding success, so much so that they were paid £1,000 to perform at the Fortune Theatre by Cameron MacKintosh.[1]

He then trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Upon graduating, he worked as an assistant for Mark Thompson for seven years on shows like Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat at the London Palladium as well as The Wind in the Willows, Arcadia and The Madness of George III at the National Theatre.[1]

He is now a Patron of the Noël Coward Archive Trust and a founding member of Freelancers Make Theatre Work.[2]
