More tributes have been pouring in for the man who was at the helm of Norwich Theatre Royal for nearly 25 years.
Peter Wilson died of cancer at his home on September 4, aged 72.
On Tuesday night the lights at the theatre were dimmed, in memory of Mr Wilson.
Tributes soon came in for Mr Wilson after the announcement, from current chief executive at Norwich Theatre Royal Stephen Crocker to Lord-Lieutenant Lady Philippa Dannatt.
Now those who worked closely with Mr Wilson have shared stories and the impact he had on the city's theatrical landscape.
One of Mr Wilson's long-time friends and collaborator, Stephen Fry, said: "His presence and influence beamed down on the world of theatre like a kind of sun.
"The Bristol Old Vic, the Lyric Hammersmith, the Watermill theatre, the Theatre Royal Bath and then a long and fruitful stint at the Theatre Royal Norwich before turning his attention to the enchanting glories of his beloved West Acre.
"You could call him the crown prince of regional theatre.
"Peter exemplified everything that is good about arts at the local and neighbourhood level, enlivening cultural institutions by attracting the best talent from outside.
"He also nurtured new talent from within, elevating the status and enhancing the reputation of local communities.
"All those careers he helped make, all those friendships he forged - he will be so very sorely missed.
"Perhaps most especially in Norwich and Norfolk, where he made his home in the last decades of his life, where he helped create such wonderful theatrical memories for us all."
Mr Wilson's first West End production was Arnold Wesker's Annie Wobbler in 1985 and he worked on Broadway as well as in international touring companies.
Richard Jordan, an Emmy award winning producer from Norfolk, got his first job at 16 working for Mr Wilson.
He said: "As a 15-year-old growing up in Norwich I was very taken by seeing a production of The Woman in Black at Norwich Theatre Royal.
"So I found Peter's office address and sent him a letter asking if there was any advice he could give me.
"I got a reply back and an invitation to London to meet him, which led to a job at 16 as his production assistant, at his company PW Productions.
"Those were my first steps into professional theatre and shortly after Peter became the new chief executive of Norwich Theatre Royal.
"Peter has been a friend and mentor to me throughout my career in theatre, being one of the first people to encourage me, when I embarked on my own career as a producer in 1998.
"I will miss him terribly, but his legacy in our fine city lives on through the joy of our beloved Theatre Royal that he cared so passionately about and shepherded so superbly, through his gift of friendship to the many people that were fortunate enough to have known him."
Mr Wilson was made an MBE in 2000 for his services to theatre and in 2005 received a special award from Norfolk County Council for his contributions to the county's creative industry.
Liam Borrett lives in Hellesdon and was mentored by Mr Wilson, who helped "open endless doors" for him in the theatre world.
The 31-year-old added: "I’m deeply saddened by the news of my professional mentor and producer passing.
"In 2011, Peter arranged a grant via Norwich Theatre Royal to help with my drama school training costs.
"In 2014 he helped finance my graduation piece, ‘This is Living’, to Edinburgh.
"Then in 2016 he selflessly – and expensively – financed and produced it’s West End transfer through his company, PW Productions.
"It opened endless doors for me at the beginning of my career and I will be forever indebted for his generosity, kindness and advice he imparted on me.
"He didn’t have to do any of it, but he did – he was a wonderful man who took a chance on me."
Luke Hudon, head of commercial operation at Andrew Lloyd Webber's LW Theatre company in London, said: "I began my theatrical career at Norwich Theatre Royal, with Peter at the helm, back in 2005.
"I've always felt incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful role model to look up to, who has and will continue to inspire me daily.
"He always had time to listen and guide and would willingly introduce you to everyone as if they should already know you, immediately putting you at ease.
"He brought a wonderful sense of calm and poise to the theatre, and I would always relish returning back home to tell him all about my career and what I had been doing.
"Peter will be deeply missed, but I know there are many in the theatre industry, who will keep making him proud and ensure his legacy lives on."
