Rupert Doone (born Reginald Woodfield,[1] 14 August 1903 – 4 March 1966) was a British dancer, choreographer, theatre director, and teacher in London.
He led a precarious existence, scraping by on what he earned modeling at the Royal Academy and the Slade in order to pay for the lessons.
In the 1950s, Doone founded the Theatre School at Morley College, and worked there until his premature retirement as a result of multiple sclerosis.
Doone was known for his imagination and artistic integrity in his work with Group Theatre and at the Morley College School of Drama.
He made his first performance in Basil Dean's production of James Elroy Fleck's play Hassan just after few years of his study.
