Tim Firth is a renowned screenwriter, playwright, and songwriter hailing from North West England. His remarkable career in the entertainment industry began to take shape in 1993 with the critically acclaimed Screen One drama, Money For Nothing. A year later, he made a significant impact with two BBC TV series, Once Upon a Time in the North and the award-winning All Quiet on the Preston Front.
Firth's impressive portfolio of television works includes the popular children's series, The Rottentrolls, Border Cafe, Flint Street Nativity, and Cruise of the Gods. His film credits boast an impressive array of titles, including Calendar Girls, Blackball, Kinky Boots, and The Wedding Video.
In the realm of theatre, Firth's credits are equally impressive, featuring notable productions such as This is My Family, Neville's Island, The Safari Party, The Flint Street Nativity, and the musical Our House, which premiered in the West End and earned the Olivier Award for Best Musical.
Firth's play, Calendar Girls, shattered all British records for a professional and amateur play, earning a nomination for an Olivier Award and winning the Whatsonstage Best Comedy Award. This monumental success led to Firth collaborating with Take That's Gary Barlow to adapt the story into a musical, which premiered at Leeds Opera House and transferred to the Phoenix Theatre in the West End, receiving a Whatsonstage Award and an Olivier nomination.
More recently, Firth has continued his successful writing partnership with Barlow, co-creating the hugely popular musical, The Band, which has left a lasting impact on the entertainment industry.
