About

A family musical about a child who discovers a friendly, flamboyant dragon in a nearby cave. When the village panics and St George comes to slay it, the child and dragon devise a plan to show that dragons are not all monsters. The original Marlowe production adapts Kenneth Grahame’s story with music, comedy and poetry.
