We were deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the recent passing of a much-loved Sedos member, Paul Cozens.
Paul joined Sedos in 2008 to be a part of our production of Rent. A multi-talented musician, vocalist and actor, he quickly established a role for himself at the heart of the society on stage, in the pit and in the Bridewell Bar.
His performances included Judge in Parade, Carney in A Man of No Importance and most recently as Governor in Candide. Paul’s work as a musical director included The Wild Party, as well as countless outstanding shows for our sister societies in the City of London. He helped devise and musical direct The Show Off and was assistant musical director and/or played in the band for numerous other shows.
Paul’s love of performing, dry sense of humour and overwhelmingly generous nature infected everything he did; many individual and whole-cast Sedos performances evolved in no small part thanks to the extraordinary trust and confidence he inspired. Paul was a joy to have in any cast or rehearsal room and the life of many a party. He will be sorely missed by his family and by his many, many friends among our Sedos members and alumni.
