In July I directed the world premiere of Bob Chilcott’s musical Birdland at Oxford Playhouse, as part of a double bill with my latest musical – a collaboration with John Mann called Leave it to Puck!

My article on new musicals for schools appeared in Music Teacher magazine

This year saw a return to a full programme of live theatre at MCS. But our filmed production of Les Miserables can still be watched (password: Barricades)

Reviews…

‘Swing Heil’ inevitably invites comparison with Cabaret’. Remarkably the show holds up very well against so mighty a prototype.’ – Oxford Times****

‘This was the kind of show that leaves behind it regret that its manifestation was so fleeting; in this case a mere two performances. Swing Heil! ought to run and run in another venue – why not in an extended form? Vorwarts und aufwarts!’ – Oxford Daily Info

‘I found ‘The Bluestocking’ to be beautifully written in many ways – most outstandingly, the songs, which had truly inventive and inspired rhymes, and tunes that were running through my head all the way home.’ – Oxford Daily Info

‘This show is a major achievement. Thomas’s period-sounding score flows seamlessly into the three original Novello numbers also used.’ – The Oxford Times, on ‘Ivor and I’

‘…The storytelling was of an equally high quality, with style matched by substance: a brooding atmosphere emanated from the music and lighting, as simmering tensions were played out by the characters. The original musical score was outstanding, with flourishes of dark and light and a narrative structure of repeating themes and motifs crafted with great expertise.’ – ‘1917’ reviewed by Richard Evans
