The Reluctant Dragon

Aethereal Jest Arts Council's production of Mary Hall Surface's “The Reluctant Dragon” is a hilarious take on a classic story.

Synopsis

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. While true to the spirit and language of the charming original, this adaptation embraces the dramatic power of what happens when misunderstanding escalates into prejudice and violence.
