Peter Tierney - Composer & Musical Theatre Writer
Peter Tierney - Composer & Musical Theatre Writer
Welcome. I’m Peter, an Irish writer–composer developing new work for the musical theatre stage.
My focus is on emotionally driven storytelling shaped through music, character, and dramatic structure.
My debut musical, Great Expectations: The Making of a Gentleman, is currently in development. It features 18 original songs, with book, music, and lyrics written by me. The piece reimagines the Charles Dickens novel through a contemporary, character‑centred score. A table read and staged reading are planned for 2026 as part of its development.
This site offers an overview of my creative work and the ongoing development of Great Expectations: The Making of a Gentleman. To explore the musical in more detail, visit the Musical page, or learn more about my background on the About page.
