Tony Peers

February 19, 1971 - May 7, 2021

We are profoundly sad and shaken by the passing of our much loved and valued Director of HR, Tony Peers. He made a vast contribution to the life and the people of the National Theatre – a cast of thousands – over a quarter of a century. We and very many colleagues mourn his loss immensely and offer our deepest sympathies to Tony’s family and friends. Tony worked at the National Theatre for nearly 25 years. He supported the organisation in achieving its many aims, but above all he supported the people who work here. He was an extraordinary support to Rufus and Lisa, and to previous leadership teams, as well as to an enormous number of managers and staff across the NT during his time with us. He also supported the sector more widely, offering sage advice and guidance to other theatres and supporting industry initiatives and partnerships. Tony was kind, generous and caring with a brilliant mind, and his knowledge and expertise were hugely trusted and respected by all who had the pleasure of working with him. We will miss him so much.

Tony was one of my favourite colleagues in my 42 years at the NT. Visits to his office, whatever the trickiness of the subject to be discussed, were always a pleasure and his kindness, wisdom and sense of humour profoundly helpful. He appeared genuinely interested in what everyone did, which can't have been easy given the enormous breadth of the enterprise. We often seemed to coincide in the lift on arrival at the NT, when he would often be weighed down by a bag of kit for his football team. I also remember his delight in the birth of his son and subsequent pride in his progress. Tony was a real dude and will be hugely missed.
