Our staff will be unavailable from 11am on Friday 17th May until 9am on Tuesday 21st May, spreading the joy of jazz hands and spirit fingers at our Junior Theatre Festival in Birmingham. Our office will remain open, however, to accept deliveries of returned materials.

SIDE 1
SIMBA
She's wrong. I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won't change anything.
(SIMBA sits. The silence is interrupted by an odd little tune.)
RAFIKI
(offstage)
TAMATISO, A SO, A HELELE MA...
(Dances on and taunts SIMBA)
TAMATISO, A SO, A HELELE MA...
SIMBA
Will ya cut it out?
RAFIKI
Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back!
(SIMBA walks away. RAFIKI follows.)
TAMATISO, A SO, A HELELE MA...
TAMATISO, A SO -
SIMBA
Who are you?
RAFIKI
The question is: Who are you?
SIMBA
I thought I knew. Now I'm not so sure.
RAFIKI
I know who you are. You're Mufasa's boy.
SIMBA
You knew my father?
RAFIKI
Correction. I know your father.
SIMBA
I hate to tell you this, but my father died a long time ago.
RAFIKI
Nope. Wrong again! He's alive! I'll show him to you. Shhhh... Look down there.
(SIMBA anxiously, cautiously approaches a pool of water. He looks in and sees the reflection of a lion.)
SIMBA
That's not my father. It's just my reflection.
RAFIKI
No... Look harder...
