‘The Reluctant Dragon’

Adapted from a short story by Kenneth Grahame – ideal for the young and young at heart! A young boy discovers an erudite, poetry-loving dragon living near his home. The two become friends, but soon afterwards the dragon is discovered by the townsfolk, who send for St. George, to rid them of it. A play of friendship, forgiveness, acceptance and the love of words.

“This play will make you question why you never encouraged your children to have a pet Dragon!” – The Downs Herald.
