Currently working on the musical demos for my Musical, Shepherd Prince.
‘Shepherd Prince' is a tragic folk romance about duty and the price of loyalty, set in Medieval Britain. Imagine the Trojan War in a parallel universe meets 'Hamlet' meets a Northern 'King Arthur.’ The story is set after the Romans left Britain and puts a spotlight on the little known Celtic kings. It also weaves in the British landscape and folklore of flowers, through one of the characters who is an herbal healer.
I've now written over 9000 words on the script and I've had some very positive feedback from a number of people who have read it. I've also had dramaturgy advice and encouragement from the American Musical Theatre writer, John Sparks.
Lots of hard work to do but the shape and arc of the story is there.
