One-man chamber opera, 'The Knife of Dawn', premiered at London's Roundhouse in October 2016. Based on the Guyanese/Caribbean political activist and poet Martin Carter, set to a new libretto by award-winning author Tessa McWatt, and directed by John Walton, it was described as being 'dramatically intense and atmospheric, a powerful snapshot of a poet incarcerated in British Guyana' by The Stage.
