Tribute from Anthony Powell

Anthony Powell, Director and Actor

As is the same with everyone who got a chance to work with Tony as part of the DCTC clan, I've a thousand delightful memories of the man, but mostly think of the wonderful times we shared on productions like The Dresser, Racing Demon, and especially Someone Who'll Watch Over Me. The kindness and support he unfailingly extended to me as a colleague proved a great gift over the years, particularly when I was first starting out as a director and had no earthly idea what I was doing. But of course this was Tony's modus vivendi; he loved the theatre and everyone in it completely, unstintingly. And he never let anyone forget that he was first, last and always rooting for them, "In for a penny, in for a pound." A lovely man.
