CLIFF BECKETT

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of Cliff Beckett on Friday 24th October 2025.

Cliff joined LADOS as a member of the props team for the 1989 production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers which was quite appropriate, as he married wife Hazel seven days after this production finished its run. Until earlier this year Cliff was still involved with the props team, which is currently headed up by his daughter, Dawn Naylor.

Cliff has been a member of the general committee for a number of years now, and has taken many of the photos of the dress rehearsals which appear on the website. Cliff was awarded his 30 year service bar in 2018.

Cliff will be missed by everyone at LADOS!
