Up and coming British actor who made his stage debut in David Hare's play South Downs for which he was hailed by critics and nominated as London Newcomer of the Year at the What's On Stage Awards in 2013.

Now Lawther is about to appear alongside Michelle Collins in The Glass Supper at Hampstead Theatre, after moving to London following his A-levels and roles in short films including X+Y with Rafe Spall and Sally Hawkins, and The Imitation Game, as a young Alan Turing, alongside Benedict Cumberbatch - who is said to have given him tips for the top. Another fan of Lawther is Dame Maggie Smith, who saw his debut in Chichester and told him 'Most of us spend our lives trying to do what you've achieved.'
