Composer for Shakespeare's Globe

Super excited to composing for Richard III & Henry VI at Shakespeare’s Globe.

Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust?
And, live we how we can, yet die we must
— William Shakespeare: Henry VI, Part 3

I’m super excited to be working with the incredible Shakespeare’s Globe as composer for Richard III & Henry VI, directed by Sean Holmes and Ilinca Radulian.

All three parts of Henry VI have been condensed into one epic production and will present the Wars of the Roses like you’ve never seen them before, and the menacing and bloody Richard III concludes Shakespeare's first tetralogy.

I will be writing music and performing the music. The run is from 21 November 2019 – 26 January 2020 in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Tickets here: Henry VI & Richard III
