"Every script has a different challenge. I think in theatre, the biggest challenge is trying to create the right emotional lighting environment is time – the technical time to actually try things and experience them and watch the show under those environments and then make tweaks.

"Something that is always fun is, you can write a theme, you can take a snippet of that theme and just stretch it around to create vocal collages – an individual who doesn’t call themselves a singer might think it’s just a bit weird holding this long note, but when 12 people are doing it you have this rich effect. That kind of stuff is always a lot of fun."
