Jill Fraser (Sargant) MBE, Artistic and Executive Director of the Watermill, died on Friday 10 February of pneumonia, in part a result of her long battle with a breast and bone cancer.

You only had to meet Jill once to be fired by her blazing honesty, her deep morality and her obvious passion for her friends and family and also for her beloved theatre.  She inspired the deepest loyalty from everyone who worked with her, a loyalty, which she returned in abundance.
