Meet the minds behind the magic
Step into the world of MERLIN Vs THE DINOSAURS and discover the imaginative minds bringing this extraordinary musical to life. From a cunning idea many years ago to a fully written production today, join Mark and Ben as they share their creative journey.
Mark: the lyrical mastermind
The original spark for MERLIN Vs THE DINOSAURS ignited in Mark's mind decades ago. He has contributed a wealth of hard-hitting, relevant, and very funny lyrics, detailed storyboards, and innovative creative ideas to this production, truly bringing his vision to life.
Ben: the musical maestro
Ben joined the creative journey, infusing the musical with his own distinctive lyrics, a generous dash of toilet humour, and a lifetime of musical creativity and performance experience. His Drama A-level, once thought relegated to the past, has found its perfect stage here.
A unique creative synergy
Despite living on different continents for two decades, Ben and Mark share a remarkably similar sense of humour. This unique dynamic allows for open discussion, active listening, and the flexibility to evolve ideas without ego, proving that great distances can often lead to greater creativity.
Our commitment: fun, smiles, and kindness
Above all, our musical is meant to be fun. We aspire for MERLIN Vs THE DINOSAURS to make people smile, feel good about life for a few hours, and leave with a renewed sense of wanting to listen to others, help others, and be kind to others. That's the heart of our show.
