Everybody associated with Hampstead Theatre will be saddened by the death of our first Artistic Director James Roose-Evans, who passed away peacefully on Wednesday at the age of 94. James founded Hampstead in 1959, and over 12 years in charge directed a huge range of work - including world premieres of plays by Pinter and Tennessee Williams – whilst ensuring its future by moving it to its first Swiss Cottage home and securing Arts Council funding. Over the years his counsel remained invaluable and the theatre stands as monument to his wisdom, his art, and his life.
