Mike Lotzof is a Sydney-based writer, composer and lyricist. He is the author of multiple books, screenplays and original musicals, including DreamRunners and Salon Kitty.
My writing is about connection.
Connection between generations, between people from different backgrounds, and between individuals and the communities they inhabit.
I believe stories have the power not only to move us, but also to build understanding, challenge assumptions and remind us that we have far more in common than that which divides us.
I believe great stories begin with empathy.

Whether writing musicals, books or screenplays, I am drawn to characters who are trying their best to navigate a complicated world.
I explore the space between competing truths, where ordinary people struggle, fail, learn and ultimately discover their shared humanity.
I am interested in creating work that entertains while encouraging audiences to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Humour, compassion, resilience and hope are recurring themes, even in difficult subjects.
