 The Questors lost another long-standing member at the end of last year. After a hard-fought struggle against the cancer diagnosed in the spring, Vic Pompini died just before Christmas.
Originally a member of The Questors' Student Group, Vic worked in the old tin hut.
Following his removal to Twickenham two years ago, The Questors had seen little of
him, though our loss was the Richmond Shakespeare Society's gain. However,
despite his illness he was able to get up to the Edinburgh Festival to support his
friends in their new company.
While his performances at The Questors are too numerous to mention, he made a
memorable Usher in the Studio production of The Fall of the House of Usher in 1988, and few who saw it will forget his 'tree performance' in the Five Go Mad in the
Woods sketch in lf Shakespeare Was a Friend of Ours He Really Wouldn't Mind Our Doing This, also in the Studio.
