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.

Delighted to be headed to New York this summer to work on a new production of Privacy, written by James Graham and directed by Josie Rourke. It’ll run off-Broadway, at the Public Theatre between July 5th and August 7th.

Great to be working with Simon Godwin again at the National Theatre on Alexi Kaye Campbell’s new play Sunset at the Villa Thalia, opening 25th May.
