A Clear Vision

BY ANDREW CLEAVER
I was sorry to learn of Tony's death. During my final year of training at drama school in March 2004, I was directed by Tony in 'Philaster' at the Courtyard Theatre in London. I would imagine this was one of the final projects Tony was involved with. Although clearly unwell at the time, his commitment to the play was absolute with a clear vision of what he wanted from us at all times. It was a great opportunity to be directed by someone with such experience and during breaks in rehearsal it was wonderful to be able to listen to Tony recount tales of the people he had met and places he had visited during his time in the business.

My best wishes to his family at this sad time.
