IN FOND MEMORYMICHAEL HOWARD (d. 2009) |
Michael Howard, one of The Questors most distinguished actors of the seventies and eighties, has died at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, at the age of 88. Michael was an experienced and polished actor and quickly became established as one of our stars. Tremendously versatile, he gave
hilarious performances in Orton's What the Butler Saw and Alan Bennett's Habeas Corpus. One of his greatest roles was the bumbling old headmaster in Bennett's Forty Years On, a superb blending of comedy and pathos. In The Coarse Acting Show of 1983 he gave a memorable vignette as Valium, a Roman senator in the Antony and Cleopatra take-off.
