Christopher Fettes, who has died aged 94, was, along with the director John Blatchley and the Swedish dancer and teacher Yat Malmgren, one of the three founders, in 1963, of the Drama Centre in London, perhaps the most radical drama school created in the UK, where I trained in 1970.
Born in Edinburgh Castle, the only child of Brigadier David Fettes, a military surgeon, and his wife, Hilda (nee Harvey), Christopher went to Marlborough college and then studied English at Magdalen College, Oxford (where his tutors were CS Lewis and AJP Taylor), before doing his national service in postwar Germany.
