Nigel Playfair (1874-1934) began his career as an actor in plays by Shaw (at the court theatre) and Shakespeare (directed by Beerbohm Tree and Granville-Barker), however, he is best remembered for his greatly successful managership of the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, which resulted in his knighthood (1928).
