Appreciations of the life and work of theatre director and Hertford alumnus William Gaskill can be read in The Guardian and The Telegraph. Gaskill began directing while at Hertford, and his style, in landmark productions at the National Theatre and the Royal Court, has been summed up as: ‘memorably austere, combining a wintry poetry with acute concern for social reality.’
