Tribute to Monty “Davide” Crawford

Read about Monty Crawford, close friend of Roy Hart who became one of the patrons of his work, in London and later in France. Thanks to Monty’s visionary entrepreneurship, in collaboration with Roy Hart Theatre co-founders Lucienne Deschamps and Daniel Rivers-Moore, the Château de Malérargues, home now to the Centre Artistique International Roy Hart, was acquired fifty years ago, in 1974.

In 2021 the Malérargues Endowment Fund was created to ensure the long-term future of the Malérargues estate as a protected site unencumbered by private patrimonial interests: a place in which to work on the embodied voice, the imagination, and the soul.
