Mary Kerridge

Mary Kerridge, the actress and director, who has died aged 85, ran the Theatre Royal, Windsor, with her husband, John Counsell, as if the new wave of British drama had never existed. And they ran it with singular success from the late 1930s to the 1970s. Seldom playing to less than 80 per cent capacity - the Royal had 656 seats - the repertory company gave patrons what they evidently wanted.
