Condolences

tree BY GARY YERSHON
I have learned only today that Tony has died.

I'm a composer from the UK, but I started off my working life acting as well as composing. Tony and I first met at the Bristol Old Vic in the 1980s when I was still an actor. He directed me in Sheridan's THE RIVALS and Odets' AWAKE AND SING! I also composed music for some plays which he directed while he ran Capital Radio's drama output. We met every so often when he returned to London. In recent years we had, I'm sorry to say, lost contact. It was in British Actors' Equity's journal that I read of his passing.

I met Linda and Simon through him. To them, and to all those mourning him, through this website I send my deepest condolences
