Subsequently, she worked extensively with that company as a freelance composer, writing music for plays by Shakespeare as well as by other authors (Fuller 2006).
She scored a number of television projects in the 1980s, including Alan Bleasdale's Boys from the Blackstuff (1982), and the 1992 series of Maigret (Fuller 2006).
