Richard Brett was a stage engineer and is sometimes considered the first ever Theatre consultant.
Born in Croydon in 1939, he worked at the BBC as a senior planning and installation engineer until hired by Richard Pilbrow to join the newly-built National Theatre in 1967[1]. Pilbrow considered Brett the 'leading stage engineer of our time'[2]. In 1985 he left the National, forming his own theatre consultancy, now known as Theatreplan[3]. Brett was chairman of the ABTT and the Society of Theatre Consultants (now the Institute of Theatre Consultants), and founded quadrennial conference ITEAC[4].
He died in 2014.
