About
We started White Knight Pictures in 2000, with a critically successful theatre production of my musical version of Alice Through the Looking-Glass at the British Library, as part of the Millennium Festival of Literature, which transferred to the New End Hampstead, Critics Choice in the Sunday Times Dec 2000, a collaboration with writer and dramaturg Maureen Thomas.
White Knight Pictures' main focus is on film, starting with 'Debussy', a short homage to the great French composer, and continuing with 'The Accordionist', inspired by my love of the great Jacques Tati, enabled by talented actors from the Golden Theatre group. We are grateful to the collaborators along the way, such as editor Jon Walker and producer James Shillingford.
We recently performed a new musical stagework, 'Tinderbox', to great success at the Camden People's Theatre in January 2025. It is about the visit of Hans Christian Andersen to Charles Dickens in the summer of 1857. Directed by Maureen Thomas, (libretto Maureen Thomas & Stephen Guy Daltry, music SG Daltry). Audience comments: "Fairytale-like; Andersen would have been impressed"; “Moving and complex and beautifully put together and performed.” “I was moved by the story – the wonderful music”
We are making plans for a fully staged performance of Tinderbox. If you would like to support us, please click on this link:
