The theatre director Braham Murray was my cousin and closest friend. He enjoyed sustained and loyal relationships; for the past 10 years his partner was the theatre producer Patricia Weller. I and many others were moved to watch as Braham cared for her during her treatment for leukaemia two years ago.
He was also known as an inspiration not just in the world of theatre but beyond, helping family, friends and acquaintances to steer their best, most creative path through life.
Braham’s new book, What You Will: An Inner Journey With Shakespeare, described as “a self-help book for the literati” is due be published by White Crow on 6 September. He received his first copy on the morning of the day he died.
