As I move on from the Donmar and Josie Rourke steps down as Artistic Director here are a few pictures from a selection of Donmar productions I’ve worked on during my residency.

An amazing time with great people – wishing all at the Donmar the very best for the future.

Fun time scoring this production for the RSC with a wonderful cast and company led by the inimitable Kathryn Hunter. The score is available on CD, iTunes and Spotify and the show will be coming to a cinema near you soon.

Thrilled to score this production at the Donmar, starring Hayley Atwell and Jack Lowden and directed by Josie Rourke.

I’ve been busy developing some new musical theatre projects for the last six months, but I’m excited to score several plays this summer. First off is Classic Spring’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest, directed by Michael Fentiman, playing at the Vaudeville Theatre in the West End. Previewing from 20th July.

A joy working on this brilliant play in a new version by Elinor Cook, directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah, at the Donmar.

Currently writing the score for Twelfth Night at the National Theatre – performances start on 15th February in the Olivier Theatre.

Some more Bernard Shaw! This time at the Donmar, with Josie Rourke’s production of Saint Joan.

Great to be headed back to New York to work on the score of Les Liaisons Dangereuses as our Donmar production heads to the Booth Theatre in October. Details here.

My new book Writing Music for the Stage has recently been published by Nick Hern Books.

Here’s a blog on the book and how I started out writing music for theatre.
