All My Heart
‘All My Heart’ is a musical about the World Transplant Games; a paralympics for donor organ recipients. Inspired by true stories, it’s a verbatim piece exploring the incredible friendships forged between the donor families and the recipients. The donor families are hoping that a connection will help comfort them in their grief whilst the recipient athletes simply want the chance to say thank you for the ultimate gift – the gift of life.
Moving, uplifting, poignant, inspiring
First draft of book, three complete songs.
