Eaten by Lions

  • slideshow_large

Synopsis

Omar and Pete are half brothers. When their parents are eaten by lions they embark on a journey to find Omar’s real father. What follows is a funny, heart-warming journey of self-discovery for both boys…in Blackpool.
The Choudray family represents a truly contemporary example of modern multicultural Britain – but what will the brother’s make of their eccentric newfound family? Will they be going to Mecca or Mecca bingo?
In contrast to some old-fashioned stereotypes about Blackpool, this comedy is sharp, current and non-stop.
