But if you come to a road where danger
Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share,
Be good to the lad that loves you true
And the soul that was born to die for you,
And whistle and I'll be there.

– A.E. Housman

In 1994 Paul Lightfoot received the Lucas Hoving Prize for 'Solitaire', from the National Union of Theatre Directions. "This work shows the original talent of Lightfoot. It is a detailed, perspicuous and touching ballet.”
