Welcome to the official web-site for Tim Firth, the number one resource for information about Tim Firth and his plays, films, television and music creations. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Tim Firth first came to the attention of theatregoers with the worldwide hit comedy NEVILLE'S ISLAND, and to television viewers with the 1994 series ALL QUIET ON THE PRESTON FRONT. On stage he went on to win the Olivier for his musical OUR HOUSE, and on television to win awards and plaudits for works including NEVILLE'S ISLAND, THE FLINT STREET NATIVITY, CRUISE OF THE GODS and children's series THE ROTTENTROLLS. Tim's first two feature films were released in 2003. CALENDAR GIRLS starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters went to number one in the UK, becoming one of the most successful British films of all time and one of the top fifty grossing films in UK cinema history. BLACKBALL, starring Paul Kaye and Vince Vaughn reached number three in the UK charts as did his third film, KINKY BOOTS starring Chiwitel Ejiofor and Joel Egerton. 

In 2004 Tim released a solo album, HARMLESS FLIRTING, completing a tour of words and music with fellow playwright Willy Russell which won wonderful reviews at the Edinburgh Festival.

During two successive Christmas runs, the stage version of THE FLINT STREET NATIVITY at the Liverpool Playhouse became the most successful production in the theatre's history, breaking box office records.

SIGN OF THE TIMES, starring Stephen Tompkinson and Tom Shaw toured the UK in early 2009.

CALENDAR GIRLS, which wowed the audiences across the country during its 2008/09 tour, and in the process broke the all time British box office record for a play also continued to sell out during its WEST END residency. In 2010, the hit comedy is about to embark on a UK country wide tour, one of the largest ever for a play. CALENDAR GIRLS is a success in Athens (current) and opens in Norway (late January) and Buenos Aires later in the year, plus a tour of major cities across Australia is planned to begin in April.
