Constance & Sinestra and the Cabinet of Screams is a musical I co-created with writer/director/producer/genius Alexandra Spencer-Jones. It appeared in its first incarnation at the Edinburgh Festival 2011 as part of Action To The Word's 3-show rep. After garnering several enthusiastic reviews and winning Alex the MTM:UK Emerging Artist award, the show transferred to the New Wimbledon Studio, and then had a brief outing in 2012 in Alaska. In 2013 it was performed at Latitude Festival and the Camden People's Theatre. It is currently in development.
A dark story of bonbons, taxidermy, and spooky little girls, the piece draws heavily on gothic and fairytale influences, and is unsuitable for those adults and children who scare easily...

It started off as a piece of theatre. Then it became a band. Then it became an online, multimedia novel. Now I'm not sure what The Clockwork Quartet is, but along the way I wrote a series of narrative songs for it, some of which were recorded and put online, and which gained a small but loyal fan following.

A rare revival of Kurt Vonnegut's only published play, Happy Birthday Wanda June was put on by Act Up at the Old Red Lion in the autumn of 2012. I was brought onboard as composer and sound designer, tasked with writing entr'acte and underscore music that would complement the chaotic, discordant dark comedy of the script.
