Lion in the Streets

Lion in the Streets

"Lion in the Streets" is a two-act play by award-winning Canadian playwright Judith Thompson. It was first performed in 1990 at the duMaurier World Stage Festival, and was produced at Toronto's Tarragon Theatre in 1991.

The play requires a large ensemble cast. Its central character is the ghost of Isobel, a murdered nine year old Portuguese girl who is searching for her killer by examining the lives of her neighbours, seventeen years after the murder. Isobel invisibly observes various characters experiencing dark, horrific emotional torments.

In 2002, Ed Gass-Donnelly directed a 6-minute film, "Dying Like Ophelia", based on a scene between the characters Joanne and Rhonda.
