Roger Metcalfe

Without the work that Roger did for the Garrick at the time, the major redevelopment of 1999 would probably not have happened.

His immense support for that endeavour mustn't overshadow his many acting roles between the mid 1970s and the mid 2000s, and many patrons at the time will never forget his stage appearances. He was very able portraying the establishment figure that many comedies poke fun at, and equally well as the towering stage presence and brooding intensity that many dramas require.

Roger served on the Executive Committee and on the Board of Trustees, and it was his role handling Press and Public Relations in 1998 and 1999 that contributed so much to the redevelopment at the end of that century.
