- Biography
- Designer and painter Percy Anderson was known in England for his work with producer Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and the original productions of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas (all D'Oyly Carte productions at the Savoy from The yeoman of the guard on). The majority of Anderson's design work on Broadway occurred prior to 1915. At a time when theatrical designers were unknown, Percy Anderson was acknowledged in playbills and his name mentioned in reviews. He died October 28, 1928 at the age of 77 in London.
