The Girl with the Dinosaur
The Girl and the Dinosaur is Flock Theatre Makers’ latest production in development — a magical new show for children and families inspired by the much-loved picture book by Hollie Hughes and Sarah Massini, published by Bloomsbury Publishing.
At its heart, this is a story about friendship, memory, and the incredible power of imagination. A little girl, Marianne, digs for dinosaur bones on the beach — and when she wishes with all her heart, something extraordinary begins to stir…
The journey has just begun, and we can’t wait to share more as the project grows towards its full production in 2026.
Once Upon A Whispering Wood
‘So lovely in every way. Total magic ’
Available to book now for Winter 2025, Once Upon A Whispering Wood returns to Theatre Royal, Brighton.
A tale of belonging, this beautiful storytelling show invites audiences to venture round the theatre and then far into the woodland where music, puppetry await.
There's a Tiger in the Garden
‘Magical production. My children were mesmerised’
Following the success of our 2023 tour, we’re delighted to be developing this magical production for future audiences. For a full production pack, please get in touch.
Flock Theatre Makers’ world premiere of Lizzy Stewart’s prize-winning book There’s a Tiger in the Garden first played to audiences in 2021 and 2022, before embarking on a regional tour in 2023. The show delighted families in studio theatres across England as well as in hospital settings, bringing stories of imagination and wonder to children everywhere.
Blending puppetry, playful design, and music, audiences join Nora as she discovers dragonflies as big as her head, plants that can eat you (and your toy giraffe) whole, a polar bear who loves fishing, and maybe — just maybe — a tiger in the garden.
