We are sorry to bring some very sad news. Richard Brett, widely regarded as being one
of the greatest theatre engineers of our time, has died.
He had been living with cancer for over a year. However,
since the beginning of December, Richard’s condition worsened rapidly and he
died peacefully at home on Thursday 9 January.
We appreciate that this news will come as a shock to you,
but it had been the wish of Richard and his family that his condition should
remain private for as long as possible. We were about to release news of
Richard’s failing health when events sadly overtook us.
Clearly all of us at Theatreplan are shocked by the news
but the Partners are determined to continue to deliver to our clients the
excellence of service which Richard demanded and achieved.
We appreciate that those who knew Richard may wish to
forward their condolences. We would, however, ask you to respect the family’s
wishes for privacy at this time and have therefore established an email account
where such messages would be welcome: rememberingrichard@theatreplan.co.uk
The date for the private family funeral will be announced
shortly, and a celebration of Richard’s enormously fruitful life will be held
later in the spring.
