I’ve just started work on music and sound for Harold Pinter’s Betrayal showing at the Sheffield Crucible Theatre from 18th May 2012. Directed by Nick Bagnall it stars John Simm as Jerry and Colin Tierney as Robert. Very pleased to be back at the theatre so soon after the success of Othello late last year (with The Wire stars Dominik West and Clarke Peters in the title roles).
Thrilled that two shows I had a great deal of pleasure working on last year have been nominated for the 2012 Oliver awards;
Salt, Root and Roe for the Donmar Warehouse’s season at Trafalgar Studios was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre. I was composer and sound designer on the piece.. one of my favourites, much of the music from the show is available to listen to in my Listen/Watch section.
Frankenstein at the National Theatre was nominated for Best Sound Design – working alongside Underworld and Ed Clarke on the music and sound score, I was Music Associate on the production directed by Danny Boyle. The show will be repeated at cinema screenings this summer across the UK and rest of the world as part of NT Live.
I’ve recently collaborated with Royal Ballet choreographer Jonathan Watkins on a ballet piece for world renowned dance company Ballet Black. Together Alone will be performed at the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Theatre 29th Feb – 6th March 2011, with a subsequent UK tour.
I’ll be posting some music snippets up onto this site next month. To find out more or to book tickets visit the ROH website.

Very happy to see Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein (NT Olivier), Daniel Evans’ Othello (Sheffield Crucible) and Rupert Goold’s Merchant of Venice (RSC Stratford) were amongst Michael Billington’s top shows of 2011.
