Thrilled to finally announce that my score for the National Theatre film production of Romeo & Juliet will be released digitally worldwide on 6th Aug. It is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Romeo & Juliet is directed by Shakespeare Theatre Company Artistic Director Simon Godwin, adapted for television by Emily Burns and stars Jessie Buckley, Josh O’Connor, Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati and Deborah Findlay. The filmed version of William Shakespeare’s classic play about two young lovers who strive to transcend a world of violence and hate was shot last year over the course of three weeks at National’s Lyttelton theater. The drama premiered earlier this year in the UK on SkyArts and made its U.S. debut in April on PBS.

A clip from the Capulet’s party from the 2021 film for Sky Arts and PBS by the National Theatre.

So excited to announce a new musical, based on the film The Illusionist. The book is by Peter Duchan, and music and lyrics by me. Its world premiere is happening in Tokyo at the end of 2020/start of 2021, directed by Thom Southerland. All the details here.

Excited that the RSC production of Timon of Athens is being mounted at Theater For A New Audience in Brooklyn and the Shakespeare Theatre Company, Washington DC.
