Three women connected by blood, spanning over three generations. One running. One yearning. One with a calling. Each must go on a journey if they are to find peace and resolution within themselves.
To date, a significant number of children in the DRC are used as combatants, transports, spies, chefs or sexual slaves within the armed groups and militias. The LOST Lombi lifts the lid on the recruitment of child soldiers while exploring identity, the generational trauma of war, the necessity of belonging and the importance of forgiveness.

PB. Whistle's love for the theatre started from a young age . She grew up around actors from the Birmingham Repertory Theatre who rented digs at her parents house. Penny trained as an actor studying Sanford Meisner for six years, she now passes on her knowledge in the room with actors which she loves. This will be her fourth Production as director with TMGTC and very much looks forward to sharing this story with audiences.
