Deeply saddened to hear about the loss of this beautiful human, Julian Forsyth over the weekend. What a phenomenal talent he was; wise, kind, witty and generous. He will forever be our Old Basketmaker….

Here he is in 2022 at The Watermill Theatre, singing What Have They Done to My Children. He broke my heart every single time I heard him sing it. Farewell, Julian. You will always be Part of the Weave.

RIP ♥️

[Watermill Theatre @WatermillTh]

We are extremely saddened by the news that Julian Forsyth has passed away. Julian played The Old Basketmaker in our 2022 production of The Wicker Husband.

It's difficult to overstate how much we all loved working with Julian on this production. He was a consummate professional, a kind, gentle company member and a wonderful actor. He had a magical quality.

All of us at the Watermill send our condolences to his family and all who knew him.

@gemmasutton1 @WatermillTh Aging backwards? Hmm. That sounds like another @MusicDJC musical if you ask me…

My Regional highlights were:
Jekyll and Hyde @ReadingRep
Into the Woods @TheatreRBath
Wicker Husband @WatermillTh
Still life @MillAtSonning
Animal Farm @TheatreRBath
All as good as anything you will see in the West End.

So, with all the recent announcements of new shows for London and the West End, who does one have to harass to get @WickerMusical down here? I would LOVE to see this on the west end. Theatre gods, PLEASSSE could we make this happen. #ThoughtForTheDay #theatre
