Sir Patrick Stewart, renowned for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, passed away on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles following a brief illness involving Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia. The news was shared on social media by those close to him. In honor of the actor, theatres in London’s West End will dim their lights for two minutes at 7pm on Tuesday, November 3. Stewart had an extensive career spanning over seven decades, with notable performances including Prospero in The Tempest (RSC) and roles alongside Sir Ian McKellen in productions such as Waiting For Godot. Hannah Essex, co-chief executive of the Society of London Theatre and UK Theatre, praised him as one of the greatest stage actors ever seen in the country.
