year	play	role	author	venue	other cast members	review	programme
2011	Landscape	Duff	Pinter	Ustinov, Theatre Royal Bath	Maggie Henderson	George Irving as Duff ...brilliantly deploying Pinter’s notorious pauses to illuminate what shadows their seemingly random recollections of feeding ducks, lying on a beach, standing on a railway platform. It’s theatre made out of almost nothing – and it’s all the more beautiful and terrifying as a result.
2011	The Extremists		Goode	Royal Court Theatre, Jerwood Theatre	Gemma Brockis, Chris Goode, Kali Hughes, Sebastien Lawson Simon Kane.
2011	Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?	George	Albee	Octagon Theatre, Bolton	Margot Leicester, Tammy Joelle, Kieran Hill	Irving shines as George, with his dry delivery and natural flair for performing. His rapport with each character is flawless, and the difficult task he faces of portraying a fine line between heartache and facade is something that he attacks with panache and ease.
2011	The Piper		Colleen Murphy	Finborough Theatre
2012	Across Oka	Pavel	Robert Holman	Duke of York's	Paul Copley Matthew Tennyson Marion Bailey
2013	Gibraltar	Nick	Alastair Brett with Sian Evans	Arcola Theatre	Billy McColl Greer Dale-Foulkes Karina Fernandez
2013	Tyne	Ralph	Michael Chaplin	Live Theatre Newcastle	Phil Corbitt, Paul Dodds, Victoria Elliott, Jane Holman, Zoe Lambert, Assad Zaman
2014	Julius Caesar	Caesar	Shakespeare	Shakespeare's Globe	Anthony Howell Christopher Logan Tom McKay Keith Ramsay Katy Stephens Luke Thompson Dickon Tyrrell	Perhaps the strongest performance though George Irving's excellent Caesar, with just the right mix of arrogance and suspicion. What comes out strongly are undertones of Marlon Brando's Godfather.
2015	The Oresteia	Agamemnon/Apollo	Aesychylus adapted by Rory Mullarky	Shakespeare's Globe	Katy Stephens Joel MacCormack	George Irving is accomplished and funny as Agamemnon, reasoned and intelligent as Apollo
2016	Anthony Unbound	Anthony		La Plaza, Buenos Aires
2016	Kenny Morgan	Mr Ritter	Mike Poulton	Arcola Theatre	Paul Keating Simon Dutton	George Irving’s carefully realised performance as Ritter is a reminder of the balanced frame of mind and composed, rational figure Kenny has seemed to lack so far in his life
