Tim Simpson

Tim Simpson, director of Plunge Productions was born and schooled in Canterbury where he got his first tastes of theatre production through involvement with school plays and working at the Marlowe Theatre.

He went University in Newcastle Upon Tyne where he studied Zoology. The theatre rather distracted him and he spent an increasing amount of time working with a large number of productions at Newcastle Playhouse and The Live Theatre. During this time he was first contacted by Plunge Productions who were producing Into The Woods at the Edinburgh Fringe. He designed and made the costumes for the production and the relationship was started.

Tim’s move to London coincided with a similar move for Plunge and soon they were to work together again on Honk. At this time Tim was working as an Art Director at Theme Traders, An event production and themeing company in North London. Despite his full time commitments he still managed to design and oversee the set building for Honk.

On leaving Theme Traders Tim went freelance, working on a wide range of theatre and design projects, including a number with Plunge Productions. In 2004 the directors of Plunge offered the chance for Tim to help build the company as a director, allowing Plunge to start to offer theatre and event production services alongside their theatre producing and management skills.

Since then Plunge has ceased to produce theatrical productions and now concentrates on the production services that Tim brought to the company.
