The story follows the adventures of when a boy finds a dragon up on the Downs he’s not in the least surprised. He's always known the cave there was a dragon cave, so it seems only right for a dragon to be living in it. But this particular dragon is not a bit like the ones in fairy tales - this one writes poetry and doesn’t like fighting!
However, it’s common knowledge that when there’s a dragon you call for St George and, with a dragon in the neighbourhood, the town’s folk ar...e expecting a fight. Can the boy come up with a clever plan to save his friend and convince the townsfolk to accept him….?
Bring your knight or dragon to find out how the story unfolds. Tickets are available now by calling the Box Office on 01667 404401.
