Photo Flash: First Look at John Heffernan and Cast of National Theatre's SAINT GEORGE AND THE DRAGON

Into the story walks George: wandering knight, freedom fighter, enemy of tyrants the world over. One epic battle later and a nation is born. As the village grows into a town, and the town into a city, the myth of Saint George, which once brought a people together, threatens to divide them. Rory Mullarkeycreates a new folk tale for an uneasy nation.
