Kevin passed away on 23rd August 2024 after a long series of illnesses which had kept him from any active part in the Barn for several years. We extend our sympathy to his wife Christine and their children and grandchildren.

Kevin came to the Barn after he and Christine retired from running the George & Dragon in Watton-at-Stone – at which time it was one of the most successful pubs in the county. He was for several years chairman of the local cricket club. He first appeared on our stage in 2006, playing the Earl of Caversham in An Ideal Husband. He was subsequently involved in a further 13 productions, most often as an actor, but also as ASM, set builder and painter; he was assistant director of Twelfth Night.

He was always an entirely reliable and believable actor, but my personal opinion is that his most impressive performances were as Captain Cat in Under Milk Wood, and as the Professor in Jerusalem. Whatever the role, he was an immensely useful member of any cast, always helpful, reassuring and good humoured.
