Myths and Hymns

David appeared in the European Premiere of this song cycle by Tony Award-winning composer and lyricist Adam Guettel at the Finborough Theatre, 2007.

About the show

Originally produced by the Public Theater / New York Shakespeare Festival in 1998, Myths and Hymns interweaves stories from Greek mythology with lyrics from an 1886 Presbyterian hymnal that the composer unearthed in a second-hand bookshop, creating a modern-day song cycle which journeys from the spare classicism of 19th century New England puritanism, through romantic art song, to Latin, gospel and R&B.

Directed by Tom Cooper. Musical Supervision by Mark Collins. Musical Direction by Joe Hood. Designed by Mike Lees. Movement Direction by Mark Civil.

Appearing with David were:

Leon Craig, Ashleigh Gray, Hazel Holder, Craig Purnell, and Caroline Sheen

Review - The Stage

"David Randall, whom I have previously known only as a musical director, here reveals a terrific voice and a musical dexterity that also has him playing flute, violin and soprano saxophone."
