"Nick and I began working on the staging for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry many years ago. At first it was with gentle conversations about how it might work, adapting the story from a novel to a musical, but in time, his role became more active and essential. He has read every draft, all the extra material I have thrown at him, and digested it all. I would trust Nick with every project because his commitment, once given, is so unequivocal and his knowledge very wide. If he takes on a piece of work, I know it will become as niggling as part of his life as it is of the writer’s. That’s honestly the most you could ask for.”

"You [Nick] were 100% invested in the show but you weren’t standing on the ship. You were standing on the shore. You need a pilot who knows the currents and who knows the artists to guide them in. That is what you did..."
