World Enough, And Time
Book, Music and Lyrics by Benjamin Ward
Elliot and Charlie have six years together and plans for a future, until Charlie dies suddenly at twenty-one. Moving between 2020 and 2026, World Enough, And Time is a new musical about the way we remember someone once they're gone, and how the perfect version we build of them in grief isn't always the honest one.
golden days
Words and Music by Benjamin Ward
golden days is a contemporary song cycle about growing up, letting go, and finding joy in imperfection. Rooted in both musical theatre and singer-songwriter traditions, it explores the challenge of learning to be okay with just okay. Told through five standalone yet emotionally linked character pieces, golden days isn’t about chasing the spotlight - it’s about learning to sit in the sun.
TURING
Book, Music and Lyrics by Timothy L. Michuda and Benjamin Ward
TURING tells the true story of Alan Turing, the gay mathematician who cracked the Enigma code in World War II, in turn saving western civilisation from the Nazis.
TURING approaches its main character through three parallel timelines– his boyhood, collegiate, and young adult life. With a dramatic score that blends contemporary musical theater with orchestral, jazz, and electronic elements, TURING peels back the layers of a lonely child and brilliant man who faced both unprecedented triumphs and persecution.
You and I
Words and Music by Benjamin Ward
You and I is a short, two-man song cycle exploring the differing paths a relationship can take - from friendship to romance and breakup and grief - or perhaps even hope and a happy ending.
With a soaring contemporary pop-Broadway score, YOU AND I examines how our own identities and relationships must shift in an ever more complex world, and how our outlook on life and each other can change as we do.
