Producers Comments

'Much appreciated this work's energy and professionalism.' Michael Lloyd, Asst. Musical Director, English National Opera
'I found this an ambitious piece, which clearly displays a great deal of meticulous research, while the music is both slick and enjoyable.' Giles Croft, Literary Manager, Royal National Theatre.
'I found this a very interesting piece of work, as did Roger Smith, the Director with whom I discussed it with. A mammoth production - deserves reward for all the hard work that has gone into it.' Tessa LeBars Management
'Most enjoyed reading your libretto. 'Swinging City' is a very ambitious work with a large cast and covering many locations, but it is clearly evident that all the hard work, which has gone in to it merits reward. We wish you every success.' Martha Wailes, Warner Sisters Film and TV Ltd.
'We thought script had a lot of good work in it. Should be of interest to commercial theatre managements, who stage big musicals' Tony Dinner, Head of Scripts, BBC Television
'Swinging City' is certainly an extraordinary piece of work. I was very impressed by its imagination, vision, humour and intelligence.' Joshua Golding, Script Editor to Kenneth Trodd, BBC Television

'Thank you for sending the libretto and tape of JOURNEY TO A DIFFERENT WORLD. (It's a well produced demo tape incidentally) It has some strong music and distinct possibilities.' Alan Strachan, Artistic Director The Shaftesbury Theatre.
'Thank you for letting me consider your concept album. It sounds a very exciting project and would I'm sure make a highly unusual West End Musical.' Avril MacRory, Head of Music Programme's, BBC Television
'Your tape, synopsis and lyrics fit the criteria we have designed to be able to judge the merit of submissions, and with your permission, I would like to send your work to the Donmar, in order that we can jointly review the project.' Patrick Murphy, Production Associate, The Really Useful Theatre Company Limited.

'Re: BLOOD AND FIRE & JOURNEY TO A DIFFERENT WORLD. Thank you very much for your letter to Patrick Murphy and for sending us the materials relating to your two musicals with Bo Wastesson. I would like to compliment you both on the professional presentation of the materials and in particular on the structure and depth of BLOOD AND FIRE.' James Thane, Managing Director, The Really Useful Theatre Company
'I have now considered your original musical Blood & Fire. Congratulations on a very impressive amount of work. An original full scale production is a great idea, but frankly we are still in the initial stages of establishing a pattern of getting well known musicals on to television. In the meantime there is an International Musical of the Year competition organised by Danmarks Radio. I am copying you the relevant information. I wish you every success with Blood & Fire and look forward to hearing more about it in the future.' Avril MacRory, Head of Music Programmes, BBC Television

'Many thanks for sending us 'THE REDUNDANTS'. You have managed to powerfully convey the tragedy caused by unemployment'. Julia Hiam, Single Drama Development, BBC Television
'Thank you for sending in 'TRAPPED'. I read the script with great interest and thought there was much to admire in it. I particularly liked the premise of a gangster, who is at the mercy of people he thinks he can trust and yet can never be sure of. The combination of his immense strength and his helplessness was well achieved.' Jess Cleverly, BBC Films and Single Drama.
'RE: BEHIND THE MASK. Your script is an exciting and well executed thriller. I found the action sequences exciting and full of suspense and think that Prince and Lord Roy Glynn are a suitably wicked pair of villains. Jess Cleverly, BBC Films & Single Drama.
