George Hall, who has died aged 101, was an extraordinary life force – a composer, performer, teacher, director and raconteur, with an encyclopedic knowledge of cabaret and musical theatre.
From 1964 until 1987, George was head of acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Working with many theatre greats over the years, in 2010 he published an account of his life: An Untidy Career: Conversations with George Hall and last year was dubbed the oldest podcaster in Britain, recording the series George Hall at 100.
