It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Margaret Ley at the age of 95. Margaret joined the Tower in 1955 and, with husband Colin, became part of the Tower’s groundbreaking activities throughout the 1960s and ‘70s. After Colin’s death in 1999, Margaret developed into one of the Tower’s most efficient and sought-after stage managers – famous for her Welsh cakes reliably delivered to any get-in she worked on. She ‘retired’ from stage managing after Sailor, Beware!. That was 2015 when she was 85. Always wanting to hear the latest gossip after she moved into a care home, the Tower was her life and she will be greatly missed. The funeral is on Thursday, 13 February and full details are at https://margaretley.muchloved.com.
