Take your pupils on a journey they’ll never forget…

Watch in awe as giraffes strut, gazelles leap and birds swoop…

At its heart is the powerful story of Simba as he journeys from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands. Visionary director Julie Taymor’s acclaimed reimagining of the beloved film will ignite your class’s imaginations and introduce them to the power of theatre.
