As You Like It – West End

Super excited to return to the stage for the first time in over a decade to play my brand new score for As You Like It at @sohoplace. @sohoplace is the first new theatre built in the West End in 50 years. I’ll be performing (and improvising!) throughout the show on a custom built magic piano. Directed by Josie Rourke with a stellar cast. Performances run 6 Dec 2022-28 Jan 2023.

This time in Washington DC with The Shakespeare Theatre Company and set in a DC newsroom.

Had an absolute riot with Simon Godwin and the whole team at the STC in glorious DC. This is the third time I’ve scored this play but this production feels as fresh as ever. Runs at the Sidney Harman Hall from Nov 11th – Dec 11th.
