Ian Ricketts Honoured

Surrey Advertiser 14th September 2012

A LONG-SERVING acting teacher at Guildford School of Acting (GSA) has been honoured with a statue commissioned by one of its most renowned past students.

Ian Ricketts' 42-year career was celebrated on Monday at a gathering of alumni at the school's new base at the University of Surrey.

"It had a sense of freedom about it and a very qenuine warmth from a lot of people I hadn't met for 30 years.  It feels, I think, rather humbling and delightful"

Former student Brenda Blethyn commissioned a bronze bust from Guildford's Olympic sculptor, Christine Charlesworth. 

Mr Ricketts joked: "one isn't the best judge of oneself and I reluctantly agree that it's a distant likeness. "It's a fine piece of work. I'm not sure where in the university it will go yet.  I may have to teach while watched over by my alter ego."
