NEON at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre

Jude, a therapist in England, meets a man named John Doe who claims to be God. He seems to be just a deluded recluse, living with a normal flatmate and enjoying Capri Suns. That is until Thomas arrives from America with visions of a strange man in his flat. The laurel-wreath necklace around the stranger’s neck seems all too familiar, and Jude finds herself caught up in the birth of a new religion.

NEON discusses the subject of death and what lies beyond. In a world of Neon lights, how can one man tackle the prospect of being alone?
The grand and absurd story of NEON is told with a timely urgency, and a grounded importance that touches upon the value of faith and our need to carry on through the darkest of moments.

Caged Bird Theatre is an emerging theatre company founded by Jasper Frost and Patrick Swain [pictured below]. They first collaborated on Swain’s play ‘Michael’, which received outstanding reviews. Since then, Swain has continued to write plays such as ‘Chuffed to Bits’, while Frost has gone on to direct at the OSO Arts Centre, as well as found space performances such as James Fritz’s ‘Ross and Rachel’.
