George Higgs(b. 1968) is a composer, writer and director for theatre and cinema. His work has been performed across Ireland, in Russia and the United States and has received numerous awards including three Irish Arts Council Grants and the Director's Prize from the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin. He holds a Masters degree in music technology from Trinity College Dublin and is represented by the Contemporary Music Centre of Ireland.

He is currently producing a piece of music cinema, Deathbed Macbeth. Essentially, this is a bed with a movie screen on its canopy, vibrating speakers in its mattress and audio speakers all around. One or two spectators can lie in the bed at a time and watch one of five films George has composed based on the bedchamber relationship of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. It is being funded by Arts Council Ireland, and will be installed in the Project Arts Centre, Dublin in October, 2008.See below for more details and a sample.
