Adrian Pagan

A memorial service was held last month in honour of Adrian Pagan, who died in August at the age of 39.

Pagan's play The Backroom won the Verity Bargate Award in 1996 and was staged at The Bush in 1999. He went on to write for several TV series including Family Affairs, The Bill and Holby City.

Alex Gammie, a former colleague from the Bush and friend of Pagan’s for many years, commented: "Adrian was hugely talented in so many areas, but most of all great company and a wonderful friend. He is going to be missed by an extraordinary number of people."
