Lionboy

Lionboy
Charlie Ashanti lives in a future where phones are powered by the sun, cars are banned and companies are more powerful than countries. Charlie is a perfectly normal boy, except for one thing: he can speak to cats. When his parents are kidnapped, he sets off on a rescue mission - with a little help from a floating circus and its pride of performing lions. Based on Zizou Corder's bestselling novels, Marcelo Dos Santos's adaptation fuses storytelling and circus in a gripping tale that provides great opportunities for amateur and school groups looking to perform a magical adventure.

Notes:
from the novel by Zizou Corder

Lovers Walk

Synopsis:
Rediscover the city through the eyes of the lovers, the lost, the lucky and the lonely, those whose stories haven't yet been written on blue plaques or in history books. Part guided tour, part promenade performance, Lovers Walk is a witty and poignant dissection of the ways in which a love affair can forever etch itself on a place. This performance visits the park benches, bus stops, alleyways and shop fronts that will never be forgotten; the scenes of first kisses, last fights and stolen cigarette breaks. Devised and written by HighHearted theatre and performed by Matt Odell and Rosie Waters. the company are driven by a desire to create new work and writing and to explore new ways to tell stories.

Notes:
