Complicite

Following a successful national tour in 2013, Complicite's Lionboy transfers to the Tricycle over Christmas.

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.

So 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.

Award-winning theatre company Complicite (The Master and Margarita;
Shun-kin; A Disappearing Number) fuses storytelling, circus and live percussion in this gripping adventure inspired by Zizou Corder’s bestselling novels.

Lionboy is Complicite’s first show for a family audience.

Suggested age guide: 8+ years.
