      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'Twitchers is a joyous, playful show… a blend of fascinating historical and ornithological information, plenty of laughs, fantastic original music and songs plus a powerful message. Informative, hugely entertaining and quietly political. Wonderful.'

      The Yorkshire Post

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'A warm and witty production, with tantalising nuggets of information and unabashed use of playful innuendo. This is a piece full of homespun charm – and Mikron is fast becoming almost as much of a national treasure as the institutions it celebrates.'

      The Stage

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'Twitchers is an absolute gem of a play and achieves all that any feel-good production should aim for – fun, music and laughter. The production is light-hearted, very funny and very warm… a truly unique and engaging play.'

      Fairy Powered Productions

      'Poppy Hollman has created a show that educates and delights in equal measure, with plenty of laugh out loud moments mingled with poignancy and a rallying cry for nature.'

      One Play More

      Poppy Hollman has written a great story here, balancing education, comedy, songs, controversy, into a coherent plot all together in such a clever way that it left the audience energised.

        'A Dog's Tale' for Mikron Theatre Company (2021)

        "A Mastiff Triumph!" - Yorkshire Times

        "Poppy Hollman's script is sharp and pacey, brought to life by a brilliant ensemble cast... I don't think I've smiled so much outside the house since the pandemic began" - The Culture Vulture

        "Fantastically well written - a great story with brilliant music" - Leeds Living

        "Hilarious - Poppy Hollman's writing manages to be both witty and flippant, but also with some serious sugar-coated messages in there" - The Reviews Hub

        Short work and competitions

        Poppy has had work featured in numerous short play competitions, including 'Little Shining Eyes' for Stagewrite, which went on to be shown at Bedfringe in 2019. Her short play 'Nobody Talked' was included in Glass Splinters at the Pleasance, Islington, in early 2020.
