Earwig Productions was established in 1986. The company's first production was a musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' which played at The Gardner Arts Centre in Brighton from 19 December 1986 to 10 January 1987. The production broke all previous box office records at the venue and Roald Dahl was so delighted with the performance that he took a bow on stage on the final night along with the cast. Mike's adaptation is the only musical version of the children's novel allowed on stage or radio by the Dahl Estate. He also worked closely with Raymond Briggs, adapting his classic comic book, Fungus the Bogeyman', which played at the Leicester Haymarket and Coventry Belgrade under the Direction of Ken Campbell. Mike has continued to write for the theatre and has completed over 25 musicals which have been staged in countries across Europe, Australia, USA, Alaska and Canada. As a director, Mike has been privileged to work with some fine actors and performers and has directed Gary Wilmott and Maria Friedman. Mike’s new feature film, Connected is currently in post-production and should be premiered in March 2012.

In 1992 the company launched its now legendary Theatre Summer School. The project was devised to give young students a unique opportunity to work alongside professional actors, directors and performers. The Earwig Summer School has used a number of different venues in the South East and often has over 1,000 young people attending its week-long workshops every summer holiday.
