Olivier Award-Winning George Stiles Joins Ms. SONG CYCLE Concept Project

Olivier Award-winning composer George Stiles has joined the line-up for 'Ms.', a Musical Song Cycle Album, inspired by women living with Multiple Sclerosis.

With music by Stiles, George Maguire, Paul Boyd, Brian Lowdermilk, Erin Murray Quinlan, Tamar Broadbent, Gianni Onori, Amy Bowie, Eamonn O'Dwyer, Sarah Travis, Robbie White, Verity Quade, Luke Di Somma and and more, and a cast including Caroline Sheen, Janie Dee, Caroline Quentin, Jodie Jacobs, Julie Atherton, Alexia Khadime, Lillie Flynn, Josefina Gabrielle and Laura Pitt-Pulford, the project is helmed by producer/lyricist Rory Sherman.

Each song tells the story of a different woman affected by MS - mothers, daughters, wives, carers and sufferers. It is written with support from the MS Society UK. MS affects over 100,000 people in the UK alone, It affects three times as many women as men and 14 people are diagnosed with the disease everyday.

These fourteen songs highlight the differences between every sufferer of Multiple Sclerosis as they tackle everyday problems, relationships and work with a progressive, incurable disease. No two people share the exact same symptoms. The concept CD is part of its development but also its first iteration and is being treated as a Musical radio play to be directed by CD Producer Simon Greiff with Musical Direction by Ellie Verkerk.

"I can't wait to share these songs with everyone because they have been the result of months of collaboration with a team who are passionate and supportive of not just what it represents but also to support new theatre and find new audiences," says Sherman. "Everyone has given up their time for free to create this album."

The work is being funded through a Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1551604781/ms-song-cycle
