Throughout the 1990s, Havill performed in a number of plays at London's West End and elsewhere. He portrayed several characters at the Barbican Theatre in an RSC production of A Clockwork Orange and at The Pit London in A Woman of No Importance. In conjunction with the RSC, Havill's focus was Shakespeare; in 1990, he portrayed George Seacoal in Much Ado About Nothing, Peter Arnold in Two Shakespearean Actors and The Merchant in The Comedy of Errors; from 1991 to 1992, he portrayed Sir William Bagot in an RSC production of Richard II at the Barbican Theatre in London.

Of the latter, the Guardian's Lyn Gardner wrote: "Havill's comic timing is a joy" (21 June 2008).[6]

Havill also appeared as Frank Ford in The Merry Wives of Windsor US tour of 2010. Ben Brantley commented in The New York Times (31 October 2010), "As Ford... the excellent Mr. Havill is exactly as serious as he needs to be, reminding us that one of comedy’s main functions is to defuse bombs that in real life often explode and destroy."[7] In 2012 and 2013, he was part of the original cast of James Graham's play This House, at the National Theatre, directed by Jeremy Herrin.[8] His work has included three roles at Hampstead Theatre in the plays Farewell to the Theatre, Drawing the Line, and Wonderland,[9] and a portrayal of the English physician Sir Gilbert Wedgecroft in a National Theatre production of Waste, with Anne Cox writing "Havill offers excellent support... as always" (23 November 2015).[10] In 2019, Havill portrayed Warren Lewis at the Chichester Festival Theatre's production of Shadowlands,[11] along with actors Hugh Bonneville and Liz White; Havill starred alongside Bonneville in the Downtown Abbey film of the same year.
