Bio of the actor

Ian Stark first appeared on stage at the very early age five, when he played one of the Snow children in Carousel, opposite Bonnie Langford who was four years old at that time. Later in his adult life, Ian’s stage career included roles such as Professor Henry Higgins (My Fair Lady), Bill Sikes and Fagin (Oliver), Nathan Detroit (Guys & Dolls), Horace Vandergelder (Hello Dolly), Pirate King (The Pirates of Penzance), Tevye (Fiddler on the Roof), P.T. Barnum (Barnum), Ali Hakim and Judd Fry (Oklahoma), Vice Principal Panch (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), and Samuel Byck in the five star reviewed production of Stephen Sondheim’s comic musical Assassins. Ian opened Tea with the Old Queen at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This was to great critical acclaim, as for example The Times selected it from among 2,500 productions as one of their Top Ten Must See shows, and subsequently it has toured the length and breadth of the UK. Through his long and celebrated career, Ian has been honoured with a wide range of awards, such as five Swan Awards for Best Actor.
