We are so very sad to hear of the passing of Graeme Phillips, the wonderful former Artistic Director of unity theatre. Graeme put his trust in us as a small company and provided an environment for us to really experiment on a scale we had only dreamed of. Quietly spoken with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he always welcomed us with warmth and an enthusiasm to talk about new projects. Vale, dear Graeme and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
