Shipley Festival: King Leo
Cecilia McDowall: King Leo, an eco-cantata, librettist, Sarah Dawson (1993)
There's been a bungle in the jungle! King Leo is getting old. His sight is not great and his strength is on the wane ... so he makes the decision to take a year out from his responsibilities for the rainforest. What he needs is a place in the sun to rejuvenate and revitalise. He splits his kingdom between Panther, honourable but a bit too upfront with the truth, and Tiger a rampant rascal out to make a fast buck. Tiger speculates on his future as a property developer, cutting down the forest and selling off to the highest bidder. Naturally, the animals are wild with worry.
Will Tiger make the take-over total or will Panther, with some back up from Gaia, the earth guru, save the day, the forest and the planet ... ?

King Leo
Cecilia McDowall: King Leo, an eco-musical or cantata, with text by Sarah Dawson (1993)
There's been a bungle in the jungle! King Leo is getting old. His sight is not great and his strength is on the wane ... so he makes the decision to take a year out from his responsibilities for the rainforest. What he needs is a place in the sun to rejuvenate and revitalise. He splits his kingdom between Panther, honourable but a bit too upfront with the truth, and Tiger a rampant rascal out to make a fast buck. Tiger speculates on his future as a property developer, cutting down the forest and selling off to the highest bidder. Naturally, the animals are wild with worry. Will Tiger make the take-over total or will Panther, with some back up from Gaia, the earth guru, save the day, the forest and the planet ... ?

King Leo
Music for Everyone Rose Shorney, musical director Nina Stevenson, director
Cecilia McDowall: King Leo, an eco-musical or cantata, with text by Sarah Dawson (1993)
There's been a bungle in the jungle! King Leo is getting old. His sight is not great and his strength is on the wane ... so he makes the decision to take a year out from his responsibilities for the rainforest. What he needs is a place in the sun to rejuvenate and revitalise. He splits his kingdom between Panther, honourable but a bit too upfront with the truth, and Tiger a rampant rascal out to make a fast buck. Tiger speculates on his future as a property developer, cutting down the forest and selling off to the highest bidder. Naturally, the animals are wild with worry.
Will Tiger make the take-over total or will Panther, with some back up from Gaia, the earth guru, save the day, the forest and the planet ... ?
