What's New > Celebrating Richard Pilbrow
 |
Richard Pilbrow, lighting designer, producer, consultant, writer and fellow and co-founder of the Association of British Theatre Technicians sadly passed away on 6 December at the age of 90.
A driving force in the theatre— Richard was the first Lighting Director of the National Theatre, as well as founder of Theatre Projects, co-founder of the Association for Lighting Production and Design (ALPD, originally ALD), the Institute of British Theatre Consultants and the Society of British Theatre Designers.
Richard Pilbrow’s Memorial Celebration
17 May | 1:30 pm - 6:00pm | London, Dorfman Theatre
Details here
The Pilbrow family, along with the ALPD and the ABTT, invite you to come along and celebrate the remarkable life of Richard Pilbrow – lighting designer, theatre consultant, producer, author, educator, mentor, friend, and so, so, so much more.
This celebration takes place at perhaps the most appropriate place possible: a theatre in a building both of which Richard played a key part in creating, the Dorfman (formerly Cottesloe) at the National Theatre.
If you can’t make it but would still like to commemorate Richard, a good way of doing so would be through supporting the entertainment charities Backup Tech (in the UK) or Behind The Scenes (in the US).
The celebration of life will be livestreamed on YouTube:
The live stream link will be posted on this webpage in early to mid May: https://www.celebratingrichard.com/
