Introducing the Stage One 5 at 50 Producers cohort! 🌟

23/03/2026

We are deeply saddened by the loss of producer Robert Fox, renowned for his exceptional contributions to theatre, film, and television. Many of our producers have learned from his leadership and example over the years.

Robert’s generosity as a mentor on our bursary programme, and the expertise he shared, has shaped and inspired countless Stage One producers. His influence will continue to be felt in the work of those he supported and encouraged.

He will be greatly missed.

West End theatres are to dim their lights in memory of producer Robert Fox, who died aged 73 on 20th March
