I write catchy, hummable songs for family shows and pantomimes. For several years I have written shows for the Partnership Theatre Group which include a mix of styles and musical theatre references.
King Arthur's Quest
To celebrate his jubilee, Arthur embarks on a quest. On the way, he encounters some eccentric characters, including the Lady of Lakeland and a mysterious palm-reader. In the end he must battle the dreaded Morgana to discover the secret of eternal life.
Robin Hood
It is the last day of bootcamp for Robin’s new recruits and, with the help of Will Scarlett, Merlin and Maid Marian, he must rescue King Richard after he is captured in the old castle by the evil Sheriff of Nottingham.
Toad In The Hall
Colonel Riccardo, the inspiration for Mr Toad, invites his friends to the Cookham Regatta. They retell the story of The Wind In The Willows for the guests.
The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
by Helena Northcote
Alice in Wonderland, but without Alice (almost!). All your favourite characters including the March Hare, Caterpillar and White Rabbit are waiting for Alice to arrive at the Mad Hatter’s tea party. They sing songs and tell stories to pass the time.
Featuring Lewis Carroll’s nonsense verse including ‘The Jabberwocky’ and ‘The Hunting Of The Snark’ and a puppet Dormouse.
Songs include “Pass The Tea” “The Queen of Hearts” and “Off We Go”
