  Daniel Hawksford on the music

Daniel explains how the upbeat ‘Sigh No More Ladies’ song in the gulling scene gets him into the mood for the comedy that follows. The music for the scene at Hero’s grave is very solemn and Catholic, and affects him deeply as he prepares to repent for his behaviour towards her. The fast music for the dance at the end of the play provides the perfect ending for a “rollercoaster” ride of a play.
