The Pilbrow family, along with the ALPD and the ABTT, invite you to come along and celebrate the remarkable life of Richard Pilbrow - lighting designer, theatre consultant, producer, author, educator, mentor, friend, and so, so, so much more.

Our celebration takes place at perhaps the most appropriate place possible: a theatre in a building both of which Richard played a key part in creating, the Dorfman (formerly Cottesloe) at the National Theatre. We'd like to thank our friends at the National for making this possible.

We'll be welcoming you all from about 1.30pm, with the celebration itself taking place in the Dorfman from 2.00pm - and then as is traditional, we'll all retire to the bar for memories, stories and reminiscing.

All are welcome - but we would just ask that if you're planning on attending, you let us know by RSVPing here. Like the great producer Richard sometimes was, we want a sold-out event, maybe even bursting a little at the seams - but not to end up with people unable to get in

If you can’t make it but would still like to commemorate Richard, a good way of doing so would be through supporting the entertainment charities Backup Tech (in the UK) or Behind The Scenes (in the US), via the links here:
