RIP Michael Thomas #richardarmitage

Michael Thomas and Marama Corley in The Crucible (2014).

Michael Thomas, who played Reverend Parris with such skill at the Old Vic in The Crucible (2014), has died. His bio is here.

In 2014 he did the Ice Bucket challenge in honor of the Anthony Nolan Trust, which facilitated a stem cell transplant that saved his life. Armitage also interrupted his own curtain call to support this effort and spoke on behalf of it. My description of that day is here.

Here is Thomas’ JustGiving page for the Anthony Nolan Trust. Here is Armitage‘s.

His funeral was today in Stoke Newington. At this link we find more information and requests for donations to Myeloma UK.

May his family be comforted along with all of those who are mourning.

Thanks to Christine for the info.
