We received the news of Gill’s death in May. Originally a member of the ICI Dramatic Society, her first appearance with the Barn was in 1971 in the cast of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Subsequently, Gill spent more time in backstage roles as an ASM, prompt or property mistress, though she made a memorable appearance as part of the quartet of witches in Dark of the Moon in 1975. She was in the crew of some of our most significant festival plays, including Dracula (1980) and The Dresser (1983).

Gill remained an active member until her last involvement, as ASM for Aladdin in 2000. In more recent year’s health problems prevented her from working on plays, but she remained a regular supporter. Always a serious and conscientious member of a crew, she was a pleasure to work with.

We send our condolences to her many friends at the Barn.
