We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague Harvey Parker, a much-loved member of the Front of House team here at Theatre Royal Stratford East.

Everyone at Stratford East is completely devastated by this terribly sad news. We will take some time to mourn Harvey before thinking of the best ways to celebrate Harvey’s life, with all those who loved Harvey as a fellow colleague and a friend. Stratford East is a community and we will continue to offer support to those affected by this sad news.

Harvey’s friends have created a Just Giving Page to support the work of the communities that Harvey was part of: money raised will go to young queer support groups, neurodiverse and gender diverse young people who'd benefit from emotional or mental health support and to help support talented musicians from under-represented communities. It will ensure that others like Harvey are able to shine as brightly.

The Just Giving page can be found here.

We will continue to hold Harvey in our hearts, and our thoughts are with Harvey’s family and close friends at this incredibly sad time.
