In 1982 I wrote my first completely original piece, Just Good Friends, and the three pieces that followed that were all to original plot lines.
In the late 1980s I became somewhat disillusioned with the direction that musical theatre was taking - I prefer book musicals to sung-through pieces - and stopped for a number of years.
Since joining Mercury Musical Developments (or what was, in 1999, the Mercury Workshop) I’ve worked on musicals that have dramatised already existing stories, a myth, some fairy tales and various biographical pieces about real people.
