My friend and colleague Polly March, who has died of cancer aged 77, was an actor of rare intelligence, wit and taste. She was particularly brilliant in comedy roles, where she had the unerring instincts of a light comedian – or a clown, when the role called for it. But she could also break your heart with her depths of emotion and truth.
Until a few days before her death, Polly was directing a production of Coriolanus with Roaring Voices, the company of young actors she founded in 2014 and ran with Teatru Salesjan in Sliema, Malta.
