The composer and musician finally felt like he’d arrived. The year 2020 was going to start with a production at the National Theatre, followed by a move to Stratford and then back to London for a stint at Shakespeare’s Globe. There were gigs, tours and recording sessions lined up, too.

The theatres were closing. Samara packed his bags and went home. He hasn’t been in a theatre or played a live show since.
