I was sad to hear the news that John Earl, former Director of the Theatre Trust, passed away last month. John was a great help to me when I first started building the Arthur Lloyd Website and continued to provide help and inspiration over the following years, he is mentioned throughout the site for his contributions and will be greatly missed. You may like to read the Theatres Trust's tribute to him here.
