In the new tribute video Jude Law, Judi Dench, Isley Lynn, Lynette Linton, 

Eddie Redmayne, Rufus Norris and Felicity Jones spoke about his work and 

the impact it has had on the industry and emerging generations of artists.

“I’d always been obsessed with the Donmar Warehouse...The place that he had 

made it, is so filled with - it was a jewel - magic and excitement. You could brush 

shoulders with actors you admired, and you felt an intimacy and a closeness, but 

at the same point the theater seemed to punch so above its weight. He thinks 

about an evening and an event, and what someone, who is paying for the babysitter 

and playing - you know - to come out to the theater and go over dinner, and what 

that whole evening means, and he gives it a sense of - there’s always a touch and 

it’s always laced with - glamour, his evenings.” - Eddie Redmayne
