SYNOPSIS
The romantic bronze age has ended and the brutal iron age begins.
The civilised world has collapsed; the world powers have disintegrated into disorder and into this chaos a new nation of former slaves, Israel, arrives.
The unfathomable, magical, benevolent and dangerous ‘Lion’ from legend which the Hebrews called, the Malack Adonai is their guide.
He takes various forms, but his optimised form is the familiar lion form of the Hebrew tribe called Judah. This time, he chooses a teenage calf by the name, Honeybee (Deborah). She is to take on the task of saving her people from the evil leader of the brutish coalition of iron age nations, Jabin and his sadistic general, Sisera.
Along with her best friend, Jael who is about to be wed, they enjoy the carefree life of youth until Honeybee is rocked by the death of her only surviving parent… her dad.
Meanwhile, the evil king Jabin is about to ramp up his tyrannical grip of Israel to terrifying new heights!
The Lion and the HoneyBee
The Lion and the Honeybee is an anthropomorphic world as seen in Zootopia. With the hero’s journey arc of Lion King and the symphonic rapture of Prince of Egypt!
This is a comig-of-age story punctuated by elevating songs of aspiration, faith, despair, loss, hope, love and victory.
Lion is based on a series of proposed novels telling the story of the historical Judge Deborah, for children aged 10 upwards.
It renders Israel’s 12 tribes in traditionally Jewish animal forms.
The rest of the world is depicted according to ‘type’.
