David Kincaid Actor David Kincaid lost a long battle against ill health on Wednesday 12th May. David Eaglesham Kincaid started his working life as a kitchen porter aboard a Clyde paddle steamer although he subsequently became a lens and prism maker. He abandoned this career in the early 1960s as his interest in theatre developed and he went on to train at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Soon after he joined the new ensemble at the Royal Shakespeare Company and then the National Theatre under Lord Olivier at the Old Vic. His theatre work took him all over the country including long spells at Theatre Clwyd, Mold and the Northcott Theatre in Exeter. David Kincaid's other work included numerous film adaptations of Shakespeare and many television roles including in Dixon of Dock Green, Dr Who and the Not for Girls-themed Yorkie bar commercial. Along with Michael Bottle and the late Peter Rocca he founded the Brockley Jack Theatre in South East London. The theatre opened in 1994 with a Chekhov double-bill of On the Harmfulness of Tobacco and The Swansong in which Kincaid and Michael Bottle played the leading roles. The enterprise thrived and David Kincaid continued to be a great supporter of the Theatre. Mark Leipacher, associate director at the Brockley Jack and director of The Tempest, dedicated Wednesday's performance to David Kincaid. Sandra Giorgetti
