| Tim Saward Composer / Film/TV/Theatre / Children Music London, England
, GBR musical theatre composer/lyricist
I am a British composer and lyricist for comic musicals - some for families; some not!
With Darren Wayte, I have written half of Yiff!, a furry musical for adults. Video of Yiff! is at www.yiff.org.uk/video.html . Darren and I are continuing to work on this project, and are starting on others.
With Thos Ribbits I have written two "pantomusicals", which are pantomimes (in the British sense) with original scores, based on Victorian gothic source material: Dracula - The Vampire Strikes Back and Jekyll and Hyde - Make Mine A Double. More details about those two shows at www.pantomusicals.co.uk (check out video of Jekyll and Hyde at www.pantomusicals.co.uk/jekyll_digital.html)
I recently graduated, with distinction, from the MA in Musical Theatre, Goldsmiths, University of London - which offers that rare thing, a chance to develop as a writer, rather than a performer, of musical theatre. No, Andrew Lloyd Webber never went on that course, since you ask.
I am the Programme Co-ordinator for Mercury Musical Developments, which creates opportunities for the development of new musical theatre in the UK - more at www.mercurymusicals.com
I am a regular producer, presenter and interviewer for MusicalTalk, the independent UK musical theatre podcast, published weekly with interviews with the likes of Jerry Herman, Stephen Schwartz, Stiles and Drewe and other musical theatre practitioners. Check out the website at www.musicaltalk.co.uk
I have a thing about apostrophes.  Lets discard the apostrophe. Its useless.
