Take a sneak peak at 'The Lion Inside'

We’re excited to share with you the new production shots for The Lion Inside. Read on to find out more about the show and take a look at the stunning set, fantastic costumes and all the heart-warming characters in this beautiful adaptation of the children’s classic.

‘No matter your size, we all have a mouse and a lion inside.’

A bestselling story about confidence, self-esteem, and a shy little mouse who sets out on a journey to find his roar. In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold, stood a mighty flat rock, all craggy and old. And under that rock in a tinyful house, lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown mouse.

Fed up of being ignored and forgotten by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes … and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion!

Based on the bestselling story by Rachel Bright & Jim Field, this brand-new adaptation for stage is directed by Sarah Punshon (The Jungle Book), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer (Brief Encounter). As with other children’s theatre shows produced by Nicoll Entertainment, the performance is tailored specifically to kids aged three and up, running for just 55 minutes with no interval. There are plenty of interactive moments to keep little ones engaged, providing a fantastic introduction to the theatre.
