Tomorrow I Was Always a Lion - The Albany
Preview by Lizzie Guilfoyle
Belarus Free Theatre in association with The Albany is presenting Tomorrow I was Always a Lion at the south London venue – from November 1 to November 12, 2016.
Tomorrow I was Always a Lion is a captivating theatrical investigation into the nature of psychosis and recovery.
Based on the extraordinary memoir by Arnhild Lauveng, it tells a unique personal story of living with and recovering from schizophrenia – a contentious prognosis that challenges our perception and understanding of the condition.
Described as a bold and inventive new production, it interrogates this controversial text with insights from world-leading psychologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists.
Belarus Free Theatre (BFT) is an award-winning independent company, committed to educating and campaigning in the related fields of the arts, internationalism, and social justice. Following their furious production of Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis, which is blacklisted in their homeland, BFT have fearlessly continued to use theatre to excavate social taboos. Tomorrow I Was Always a Lion continues this journey of provoking and challenging the deepest questions of our humanity.
Tomorrow I was Always a Lion contains adult themes and is suitable for ages 14+.
