Book Now For ST GEORGE AND THE DRAGON At The National Theatre
By: Marianka Swain Aug. 21, 2017
Rory Mullarkey's epic new folk play, St George and the Dragon, tells of a knight who became a myth, and a country in need of a story. It premieres at London's National Theatre this autumn, playing 4 October to 2 December. Book tickets here from £20
A folk tale for an uneasy nation. A village. A dragon. A damsel in distress.
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.
The world premiere is directed by National Theatre Associate Lyndsey Turner with design by Rae Smith, lighting design by Bruno Poet, music by Grant Olding, choreography by Lynne Page and sound design by Christopher Shutt.
