South African theatre icon Patrick Mynhardt passed away from natural causes in London yesterday morning, Thursday, 25 October 2007. Mynhardt was in London performing in his one-man show Boy from Bethulie at the Jermyn Street Theatre in the West End. Producer Colin Law, who was in London with Mynhardt, says, “This is a very sad end to a 30-year working relationship; it was a great privilege to work with Patrick, he died doing what he loved most – performing.” Mynhardt is survived by his son Johann and grandchildren Liam Patrick and Euan Frederick, and his brother and his sister.
