theatre
I love writing for theatre, and have been lucky enough to have had music used to support work on stage.
You’ll notice a strong theme of puppets, too!
NUTCRACKER IN SPRING
Nutcracker in Spring is a new interpretation of the well-loved festive tale, reimagined for Spring and Summertime.
Lori Hopkins fuses her unique blend of storytelling and intricate puppetry to take family audiences on a journey into young Clara’s world on the day of her birthday.
Clara receives an unusual gift from her odd relative – a handmade, funny-looking nutcracker. Overnight Clara finds herself catapulted into a world of magic, sweets and sunshine!

Laika The Space Dog
Laika The Space Dog is a lively family show that retells the story of Laika, the first dog in space (with a twist)!
Audiences are invited to see an alternative ending whereby Laika undertakes the journey of a lifetime.
Featuring a beautifully crafted puppet, a riveting soundtrack and a few surprises, Laika the Space Dog will delight children over the age of 3 and their adults too.
