COMPOSER - ARRANGER - MD
Dominic developed a love of musical theatre whilst a member of Sheffield University Performing Arts Society, using his talents to MD and vocal coach student productions. He is proud to have now composed and arranged several of his own shows and taken them on tour to London, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Manchester, Oxford, Doncaster, Newcastle, Birmingham and York.
TRY THIS AT HOME THEATRE
2014-2017
Dominic started TTAH during his third year at Sheffield University when, alongside partner Cate Berry, he co-wrote and composed Character Limit, a satirical comedy about the internet. It won 'Best Act' at the 2014 Platform Performance Festival before running at that year's Edinburgh Fringe. The next year saw the debut of their second show, The Local, a folk-inspired exploration of UK pub closures. In 2017 TTAH released a cast album for the show (follow the link to Bandcamp), followed by another Edinburgh run. In these two shows, Dominic wrote all music and lyrics as well as arranging parts for up to ten singers and five instrumentalists. Click here for a promotional video for The Local.
BLOWFISH THEATRE
2016-present
Dominic is a founding member of Blowfish Theatre, serving as MD for their debut production, the satirical comedy Boris! The Musical in 2016. In 2018, he composed the score for Trump! The Musical as well as Boris! The Musical 2: Brexit Harder & The True Historie Of Mr William Shakespeare the following year. Dom's duties include coaching the singers, leading a four-piece band and overseeing all recordings, some of which can be heard here.
OUT OF PLACE, DEBORAH & NIGHT FLIGHT
2015, 2016 & 2021
While acting in Cardona Productions' original musical Out Of Place (2015), Dominic took over arranging duties when a previous MD left the project. He and actor/composer Luke Simnett worked to produce a piano vocal score in just one weekend. The collaboration was such a success that Simnett invited him to arrange his next project, Deborah, which toured in 2016, as well the upcoming Night Flight, premiering in October 2021.
DOCTOR WHO - REMNANTS
2021
In early 2021, Dominic composed the score for Manipulator Malfunction and Into The Eyes Of The Disciple, two Doctor Who fan audio productions from producer Dominic G. Martin (YouTube's Who Chaser). They are part of Remnants, a series of fan audios inspired by anthology television programs such as The Twilight Zone and Inside No. 9 that takes place in an alternate Doctor Who universe. Listen to tracks from the score in the 'Media' section of this site.
