Judith Dimant was executive producer at Complicité for 25 years during which time she produced all of Simon McBurney’s shows including The Encounter, A Disappearing Number, Shun-kin, The Elephant Vanishes, The Master and Margarita and many others.

In 2019 she set up her own company now renamed Judith Dimant Productions to mark a new phase for the company.

The company’s work to date includes Grief is the Thing with Feathers, adapted from Max Porter’s award-winning novel starring Cillian Murphy; Pandemonium by Armando Iannucci, directed by Patrick Marber; Princess Smartypants by Babette Cole, The Language of Kindness by Christie Watson (winner OFFIE award 2022) and Shifts a radio feature for BBC Radio 3 Between the Ears (winner Gold Award – Life with Covid 2021 UK Audio awards).

The company is currently producing EVITA TOO at the Purcell Room, Southbank Centre for Winter 2025 and is developing a new play with Armando Iannucci.

    “Judith starts with optimism and then delivers on it. Her love and understanding of the creative process means that working with her is like working with your best friend, your best teacher and your best critic all at once. It turns the hard work of writing something new into a total pleasure.”

    Armando Iannucci

    “I’ve known Judith Dimant for more than 30 years. She’s a brilliant producer; supportive, clever and determined. And she pays on time.”

    Patrick Marber

    “I love working with Judith. Her passion, her experience, her absolute commitment to theatre as an art form, as a progressive, accessible and essential part of our civilisation. She’s a joy to collaborate with.”

    Max Porter

    “Working with Judith Dimant feels like the opportunity of a lifetime and an absolute honour. As well as being diligent, a font of knowledge and with impeccable taste, Judith is also hilarious and a joy to work with.”
