Original Score
The Body
In 2004, Kate composed a score for a play written by award-winning British writer, Nick Darke (1948-2005) entitled, “The Body”. July 1-3, 2010, Kate’s score was licensed for use in a production by The People’s Company, mounted at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in the UK.
The play involves “an eccentric West Country community [that] must contend with the presence of an American airforce base” (doollee.com) and of the score, Mr. Darke wrote: “I listened to your music and enjoyed [sic] greatly, it captures the mood of the piece.” This work is written for piano and voice and is available through license agreement in conjunction with current productions of this play (contact kate@katemaccoll.com). The play itself can be purchased through Bloomsbury Publishing; production rights information can be found there as well (click on the CONNECT tab then select “Permissions”).
