Imogen Stubbs was born in Northumberland, lived briefly in
Portsmouth, where her father was a naval officer, and then moved
with her parents to London, where they inhabited an elderly river
barge on the Thames. Educated at St. Paul's and then Westminster,
where she was one of the "token girls" in the Sixth Form, she went
on to Oxford, where she gained a First Class degree. She achieved
success on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company, notable as
Desdemona in "Othello", which was directed by Trevor Nunn, now her
husband and the father of her daughter Ellie and son, Jesse.
Additional stage work includes "St. Joan" at the Strand Theatre and
"Heartbreak House" at the Haymarket.
