Lewis Sewell had been performing for much of his life having spent a decade with Derby Youth Theatre and several years with Inspire Academy, Nottingham. A student at Bilborough College, Nottingham, he had been preparing for auditions at Central, RADA, LAMDA, Guildford amongst others when the coronavirus pandemic struck.

He had a passion for both musical theatre and natural plays, performing in productions of Into the Woods, A Christmas Carol and The Hound of the Baskervilles as well as self-devised and newly written pieces such as Dust, Dreamtime, Fugee and Boudica. In July 2017, he appeared in a youth production of Laura Lomas’ new piece The Blue Road which ran at Derby Theatre.

In October 2019, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and despite prolonged chemotherapy, the decision was taken in July 2020 to stop further treatment when the tumours continued to grow. He passed away on 15 August 2020.

Producer Mark Robert Petty said: “This concert will be a celebration of Lewis’ life and will feature songs, readings and speeches dedicated to Lewis’ memory and legacy with The Lewis Sewell Memorial Trust.”
