Meet the Composer

James Sugg

Do you remember what it feels like to love with abandon and revel in raw elation? Rediscover the world’s most enduring story: a tale of pure passion between the children of sworn enemies. On a simple stage, this visceral production celebrates the language and indelible characters of Shakespeare’s masterpiece.

James Sugg composed the original score for this new production directed by Matt Pfeiffer, with performances running from February 25 to April 5, 2010. The score will be performed by a single musician on a variety of instruments. The production represents a return to basics, devoid of directorial concept. The Arden's Romeo and Juliet will rely solely on the power of words and song to tell this timeless story.
