Steven Charles Pimlott OBE (18 April 1953 – 14 February 2007) was an English opera and theatre director, whose obituary in The Times hailed him as "one of the most versatile and inventive theatre directors of his generation". His output ran the gamut of the theatrical and operatic repertoire, from musicals, such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and popular plays, such as Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, through classics such as Shakespeare and Molière, to Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Sunday in the Park with George and Alexander Borodin's Prince Igor.
Educated at Manchester Grammar School where, at the age of 12, he gave what he described as a "definitive" Gertrude in the school play. His Hamlet on this occasion was the future television historian Michael Wood.
