Armstrong, William (1882–1952), English actor and director, who was for many years connected with the
Liverpool Playhouse where his work was of great value not only to the
repertory movement but to the English theatre as a whole, many of his company becoming leading actors in London. He made his first appearance on the stage at Stratford-upon-Avon in 1908, in Frank
Benson's Shakespeare company, and after touring extensively was with both the
Glasgow and the
Birmingham repertory companies. He went to Liverpool in 1922 as manager and director, remaining there until heavy air raids caused the theatre to close in 1941. After several London productions, including
Van Druten's Old Acquaintance (1941), he accepted an invitation from Barry
Jackson in 1945 to go back to Birmingham, where he remained until his death.
