Vale Alan Becher (1947-2008) — Much loved friend, colleague, mentor and director. It is with such deep sorrow and shock that we have to say goodbye, but you will never be taken from our hearts and memories. It is with immense respect and gratitude that we wish to honour your enduring legacy of generosity, wisdom, integrity and humanity.

A true and vital artistic spirit who leaves countless lives touched, inspired, immeasurably changed and made new. For your wonderful sense of humour, for sharing your sense of wonder, for your guidance and faith, for the mischief and the meaning, for all you gave and continue to give, for bringing out the best in us, we thank you.

So many achievements of which to be proud, so many moments that will last forever, so much more to say. A distinguished life to celebrate. An inimitable man to admire. An end too soon. From all past and present at Perth Theatre Company.
