Cicely Berry

Cicely Berry (Deceased; Former Distinguished Resident Artist) was the Voice Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company. She was invited by Trevor Nunn to take over voice work with the actors in 1960. This work has developed considerably, and there is now a four-member voice team working in the Company. Cicely worked with major theatre companies all over the world: she worked regularly with Nos Do Morro, a company based in Viidigal, one of Rio’s favellas. She made a series of videos, Working Shakespeare, with top English and American actors. She had a very close and happy association with TFANA over many years. Cicely was awarded the CBE, Commander of the British Empire, in 2009 for her pioneering work in theatre.
