The Dragon
By Toby Schmitz
27 June 2013 – 25 July 2013 Merlyn Theatre
Adapted from Evgeny Shwarz's The Dragon
Malthouse Theatre,
New Adaptation Theatre
A dragon has held sway over a cowering village for centuries, when a brave Lancelot arrives to vanquish the beast. The problem? The townsfolk have become quite fond of the tyrant and the impositions he makes … including the annual human sacrifice!
