Timothy Wallace Marriott is a former British stage and television actor. He is perhaps best known for his role as Gavin Featherly in the BBC sitcom The Brittas Empire.
Career
Marriott's most noted role was as Gavin Featherly in the leisure centre-based sitcom The Brittas Empire. It ran for 52 episodes over seven years on BBC One, from 1991 to 1997.
He later wrote for the stage. His play Meeting Mary was put on at the Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in January 2005 while his piece Pete 'n' Me, put on at the New End Theatre also in London in February 2005, was described as "skilfully woven" by Paul Vale of The Stage.[1]
In 2000 Marriott left theatre acting to become Director of Drama at Eastbourne College.[2]
Between 2015 and 2017, he co-wrote the play Mengele[3] with Philip Wharam[4] which toured theatres and festivals in 2017, including the Edinburgh Fringe[5] and Ludlow Festival. [6] The play[7] starred Marriott as Dr Josef Mengele and Emma Zadow[8] as Azra'il. In the autumn of 2017, it moved to the SoHo Playhouse[9] in New York where it won an award.
Shows in 2018 included Katzpace in London's Borough Market, co-starring Emma Wingrove as Azra'il and the Bedford Festival. As a constituent part of Guy Masterson's "Lest We Forget" tour, it has moved to Australia, currently showing at The Bakehouse Theatre Adelaide.[10]
Personal life
Marriott was born in Hammersmith, London, England, UK, the youngest son of Michael Marriott.
