I have overseen multiple cast changes while traveling the world, installed numerous company shows, and contributed to the development of new productions.

My work includes composing for Closets - The Musical (Hope Mill Theatre, 2018), The Jury - A Musical Drama (Brindley Theatre, 2018), Gate House (2020), The Long Walk Back (short film, Best Score at Halifax Film Festival), The Witching Hour (Orange Tree Theatre, 2023; UK Tour 2024), The Orphanage (Orange Tree Theatre, 2022), A Queer’s Guide (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2024), and Talk To Me (Documentary, 2021). I currently serve as Music Supervisor for AIDA Cruises and as Resident Musical Director and Music Supervisor with Anton Benson Productions Ltd., combining leadership, composition, and production skills on a global scale.

Twelve strangers collide in a controversial case that will change them forever. The pressure is on to unanimously decide on a verdict but they are stuck in a deadlock. Putting their personal morals to the test, they find themselves lost in a labyrinth of circumstantial evidence confusing fact with fiction. Breaking almost every rule in the process, they finally conclude on a verdict… But is it the right verdict? They learn that the truth will soon come out as a secret past comes to a conclusion. This intense musical will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you questioning your own moral compass.
