About The Little Big Things 

This remarkable account of one young man's life shows that anything can change in an instant. 

Henry is hopelessly torn between a history he no longer recognises and a future he can't even begin to fathom when one instance changes everything. Can he take charge of his life and prevent his family from deteriorating while he learns how to navigate this new and complex world?

This inspiringly vibrant new musical serves as a reminder that the little things really do matter the most. In a narrative of courage and transformation, watch as Henry takes charge of his life and refuses to give in to circumstances.

From as early as I can recall, writing has always been my passion. Being able to combine this with my love for theatre has been a rewarding and exhilarating experience. I truly believe that there is magic in seeing a story brought to life on stage, and this is what I would like to promote to audiences.
