It would, of course, be unfair of me to give away the plot lines but, what I can say is, along the way we meet a colony of singing penguins, two seriously cool dancing polar bears, a horde of singing crows, almost all of Santa’s reindeer (including the one with the bright red nose) and all of this happens to a musical score that contains some of the best Christmas songs ever written.

…special word for Matthew Reeve the music director. The band were fantastic, I can’t believe there were only four musicians, Andrew Lavery, David Mayes, Michael Currie and Joel Murphy. The zingy base notes made the seats vibrate.

Matthew Reeve’s atmospheric music, which paints vivid pictures and harmonious memories.

I had the pleasure of attending the Moving Stories garden party on Sunday to celebrate their achievements over their 2012-2013 season. Moving Stories is a theatre company that aims to awaken the senses and stimulate the emotions by creating bold, ambitious and beautiful work for both theatres and unusual locations and sites. They have just enjoyed a very exciting season of work, which included Vanessa and Virginia at the Riverside Studios in London, which has been nominated for five Off West End Awards. This time last year I was composing a 1920s inspired score for their production of Twelfth Night at The Minack Theatre which went on to win the Minack Trophy in 2012. I am looking forward to working with Moving Stories again on future projects.
