A native of Inner London's Hampstead area, Ian David Parsons was the son of theatre critic Alan Parsons and actress Viola Tree, the daughter of renowned Victorian actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. The young performer's first exposure to the stage came at the age of six, when he played a bear in his mother's 1921 revival of ''The Tempest'' at the Aldwych Theatre and continued through his childhood years, as exemplified by his portrayal, at eleven-and-a-half, of Lieutenant Spicer in a January 1927 juvenile production of ''Quality Street''. Taking as his stage name the famous surname from his mother's side of the family, he spent a year studying drama at the Old Vic where, in his words, he "played spear carriers and said 'Hail Caesar!' a lot",〔(Brownlow, Kevin. "David Tree: Film star of the pre-war years who worked with David Lean, Alexander Korda and Anthony Asquith". ''The Independent'' (3 December 2009) )〕 such as in September 1934's production of ''Antony and Cleopatra''. Joining the repertory company at Oxford Playhouse, he remained there, on and off, for three seasons and, by March 1937, was at the Embassy and Savoy theatres, playing Mago in ''The Road to Rome''. In 1938, he was Robin in ''Only Yesterday'' at the Intimate during February, Ferdinand in ''The Tempest'' and Feste in ''Twelfth Night'' at Regent Park's Open Air during June–July, Edgar Malleson in ''Serena Blandish'' at the Gate during September, and Gerald in ''Ma's Bit O'Brass'' at the Q during October. In 1939 he had a notable success portraying Mervyn Brudge in ''Little Ladyship'' at the Strand during February and, during March, played Christopher Hatton in ''Drake'' at the Coliseum for King George's Pension Fund for Actors.
