Who Is Benedict Cumberbatch's Fiancée, Sophie Hunter?

While Sophie has done her fair share of acting on TV and film in bit roles (including a short film with Doctor Who star David Tennant, which you can watch above), her real passion appears to lie in theater production. In 2012, she directed the North American tour of the experimental play 69° South, which told the voyage of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton through the use of puppets and actors on stilts. She has directed several operas, including the 2011 NYC production of The Rape of Lucretia and the African tour of The Magic Flute later that year. In 2007, she won the prestigious Samuel Beckett Award for writing and directing the avant-garde play The Terrific Electric at the Barbican Centre in London. She also cofounded the Lacuna Theatre Company and serves as an associate director at the Broadhurst Theatre, a legendary Broadway theater in NYC.
