FRENCH CHILDREN’S PLAY FOR AGES 10+
Written by Francis Monty in 2001, “L\u00e9on le nul” is a powerful play that depicts the life of a young boy. At school, he is the target of his classmates’ bullying. At home, he struggles to find his place between his nervous and impatient mother and his brother \u00c9thienne, a successful chocolate seller who is wealthy and self-assured. In an attempt to cope, L\u00e9on wants to become a train, tough and powerful. So he eats nails and waits for his birthdays to turn his legs into wheels.
“L\u00e9on le nul” addresses themes of bullying, rejection, and the inner strength needed to confront these issues.
