Nikki is delighted to have been given the green light by the rights holders to adapt The Slaves of Solitude by legendary novelist Patrick Hamilton (Hangover Square, Gaslight), with music by regular collaborator James Cleeve.

 

Nikki has been commissioned by Jakop Ahlbom Company to write the book for a stage musical version of I Am Not A Serial Killer, based on the novel by Dan Wells, which was also made into a cult movie in 2016 starring Christopher Lloyd. This brand-new musical will premiere in Holland in early 2027.

​

Nikki’s song cycle Shadow Puppets will premiere on 2 June at JW3 in London. Over a dozen composers have set Nikki’s lyrics to music. The show explores fame through the eyes of ordinary people who find themselves spinning in the orbit of someone famous, by accident or design.
