the history of pbm
Irish writer and composer Paul Boyd has been creating original works for musical theatre since 1992 when his student production Macbeth The Musical became a surprise hit and transferred from its home on campus at the University of Ulster to the nearby Riverside Theatre and eventually to Belfast’Äôs Group Theatre.¬Ý The show went on to tour Ireland extensively in 1994.
In 1998, with five more musicals to his name, Paul began operating under the name Paul Boyd Music (pbm), administrating an ever-increasing number of requests for performing rights from theatre companies and independent producers. 
In 2001 Paul was invited to co-produce his new musical Red with Northern Ireland’Äôs national producing theatre, the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, and so pbm established its own theatrical production team under the name Purpose Built Musicals (also shortened to pbm).  For the next few years pbm staged Paul’Äôs original musicals for professional venues and promoters across Ireland.
Today pbm’Äôs production activities have been cut back in favour of its licensing and developing operations, although the company continues to produce the annual pbm Summer School at theatres across Ireland.
pbm owns and manages the performing rights to the original stage works of Paul Boyd and licences his shows to professional theatres, producers and promoters around the world interested in staging their own productions.  In recent years pbm has licensed its material to professional producing venues across Ireland, the UK, and the USA and has also issued performing rights to a few select amateur and student organisations across the UK, the USA, Germany, and Australia.  Requests for information about performing rights can be made by contacting pbm here.
