Lionboy

Unicorn Theatre

9 July

The Lionboy

with shaking heart
and brave brown eyes
races around the world

on circus boat and air balloon;
a cat-speaker whose tongue
knows how to purr and mew
and speak with lions.

Down river, desert,

mountainside he is pursued,

a red foot enemy hot on his tracks

and growing close.

 

Lionboy by Complicite runs at the Unicorn Theatre until 21 July
