Actor and director. George worked in theatre, television and film. He 'was one of the postwar generation of British directors who moved theatre on from fortnightly rep in “the provinces” to more adventurous productions that could compete with television drama and the West End stage. [...] Along 'with Peter Hall, John Barton, Paul Almond and Toby Robertson in 1952 he formed the Oxford and Cambridge Players, which became the Elizabethan Theatre Company.' He '[founded] the Crucible’s education and community company, Theatre Vanguard [which] made Sheffield only the second rep in the UK to produce work for schools and young people. [...] George worked in turn at the State Theatre Company of South Australia and then the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, where he was dean for 11 years.' (Guardian website) He 'was also a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company during the years 1994-1999' (Wikipedia).
