The Dragon's Tale

Presented by Hand to Mouth Theatre, The Dragon's Tale is an original and whimsical reinterpretation of George and the Dragon, told in a series of flashbacks by the ageing Dragon himself, and his troupe of glove puppets. Musical accompaniment is provided by the equally world-weary Damsel in Distress playing the hurdy-gurdy.
Children will love the knockabout nonsense and adults will appreciate the hidden layer about growing old together!

The show is suitable for a family audience.
