Autumn 2023 saw me writing what turned out to be a mini-epic through-composed score for the latest instalment in the ‘Chronicles of Atom & Luna’, an ongoing project in immersive storytelling from Funnelwick Limb.
An epic fairytale written by renowned British poet, stand-up performer, broadcaster, playwright, screenwriter and children's author Murray Lachlan-Young, and directed by Artistic Director of Theatre Porto, Nina Hajiyianni, this is a beautiful, magical and moving piece of children’s theatre.
“When Atom and Luna, who have been left home alone, are saved from starvation by an unexpected visitor Iffley Sney, it leads to a series of magical events. When Iffley falls terribly ill, only the twins can save him, and on a journey that will change their lives forever, they must head into the forbidden forest to seek out Old Mother Redbeard. ”
