Well done.

You've come to the right page - the list of ten projects I'm either working on developing, or would really like to. If they're of interest, do say.

1. Milton's Paradise Lost as a three-handed tragedy, or as an interactive immersive show.

2. Translating Der Rosenkavalier so it's as funny and beautiful as the original (wouldn't say no to directing said opera either).

3. Presenting 'The Death of Orpheus' (Georg Kafka, trans. Lisa Peschel) onstage; a beautiful tale of dealing with grief and death.

4. Commissioning a composer for my Hotspur-Kate focused operatic adaptation of Henry IV Part 1, The Percys' Opera (a spiritual sequel to The Perfect Opera in its metatheatricality).

5. Adapting 'This Is How You Lose The Time War' into an opera.

6. Creating my Untitled Mecha Show (the audience are the support team to a pilot doing dramatic things).

7. Put on the tentatively-named 'Passions & Powers', a comedy interactive immersive show mixing the Conference of Berlin with a romance novel.

8. Training more in Noh theatre, ideally in Japan, and doing more Noh-influenced work.

9. Staging Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett as a play, or The Last Hero as an opera.

10. A vast, interactive immersive adaptation of The King In Yellow, fusing my love of symbolist art and interactive theatre as the world falls apart around a play.

And, of course, you tell me - what have I missed that you think I'd be well-suited for? (I'd love to do anything in musical theatre, return to Shakespeare (especially Richard III or Henry IV Part 1), or direct/translate Eugene Onegin, Rosenkavalier, Don Giovanni, Akhnaten, Tosca, Peter Grimes, Pelleas et Melisande, and most new operas).
