These include Marya by Issac Babel for the Royal Court, A Doll's House by Ibsen for the Riverside Studios, The Royal Pardon by John Arden for the Arts Theatre, The Changeling by Middleton for a production in Sydney, Austrailia, and The Price by Arthur Miller for the Bristol Old Vic. His scores for Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle and Edward II are both recognised scores for these plays held by the Brecht Estate in Berlin and have provided the music for many productions. His musical The Braddocks Time was a commission from the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool, where it was followed by a tour of the north of England. The Sacrifice, a music drama based on a Japanese No play was initially premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, and in a revised version by The Acting Company at the New End Theatre.
