by Mary Hall Surface | directed by Ricky Drummond
Adapted from the book by Kenneth Grahame | The village of Guildermere blames the dragon who lives upon the downs for their dying crops and sour milk. But this dragon is a peace-loving, poetry-spouting fellow who would much prefer a cup of tea to a battle. When Saint George arrives, the dragon and his young friend, Glaston, face quite a challenge indeed. A charming tale of an unlikely friendship, this play for young people and families embraces the dramatic power of what happens when misunderstanding escalates into prejudice and violence.
“This revamped retelling is a treat for children of all ages. …the overall message of this show is one of tolerance and acceptance, friendship and loyalty, and the importance of staying true to your heart.“ — MD Theatre Guide
