July, 1987. On stage, 2 a.m, in the Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford, Connecticut.

This is me leading the Young Shakespeare Company in a (very much un-dress) rehearsal of As You Like It. I was was Musical Director and Composer-in-Residence of the company, which performed in the Holland Park Open Air Theatre, London and in said American Shakespeare Theatre. I also wrote and lead scores for Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. No wonder I was so thin.
