Max Irons

Max Irons caught the industry’s attention with his impressive body of work, which spans television, film and on stage, and, with several exciting projects coming up, 2017 promises to firmly establish him as an international acting presence to watch.

In 2009, Irons made his professional stage debut in Friedrich Schiller’s Wallenstein at the Chichester Festival Theatre for which he was nominated for the prestigious Ian Charleson Award. The Stage called his performance “delightful” while The Independent raved his was “heartbreakingly stern-yet-fragile” portrayal.

Agatha Christie’s work has really stood the test of time. She crafted these stories so painstakingly with such detail and precision.
