The Lion tells a compelling and thought-provoking story about a community's response to an escaped lion in the town. A host of characters, including the Chief Constable and an economist, are forced to face the unprecedented crisis. Their differing - often conflicted - responses speak to a nation coming to grips with a new dawn.
This high-octane satire about the restoration of Estonian independence has resonance far beyond Estonia's national events of 1991, and speaks to collective responses to all manner of global and community crises.
