Lionheart is a one-man show, telling the story of Arthur. Arthur's a loser . He lives with his mum, except that she doesn't like him. He did have a girlfriend, until she ran off with his dad. He's a lifelong supporter of Southampton F.C.
Tonight should be the best of Arthur's life. England are playing Germany in St.Etienne, and he's got a ticket. The problem is, that when he wakes from a drunken stupor, he's on a railway platform in Cologne.
Lionheart originally toured the Southern Arts region in Spring 1999. It was seen in London, and invited to Pleasance at the Edinburgh Festival.
