In Memoriam Roger Rees 1944-2015

“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again” Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby

Homage to Roger Rees

Quite the Shakespearean
Sometimes even a villain
Well versed with the classics
Performing them with magic
You could pull off Dickens
Off came the mittens
When venturing into science fiction
Causing quite an addiction
For watching certain shows
Always keeping us on our toes
Of what one might expect
You had that affect
But for now, we will see you in re-runs
Watching our most favourite ones
For myself the one is and always will be
Nicolas Nickleby

Rest in peace
Sweet prince
Roger Rees
