| Dragon
Tails or Tales of Dragons and Woodland Wyrms is Root and
Branch Theatre Company's latest play. The year is 1614. At the White Horse Inn in Southwarke we invite you all to the trial of Young Nic, also known as Flash the Dragon. Take a journey from the timeless epic of Beowulf and the Death Dragon through the folkore of Sussex to discover the truth behind the myth of dragonlore. Is he guilty is he not? You decide. We are currently looking for volunteers to act as the jury. The play covers aspects of the National Curriculum Key Stage 2 on History Saxons and citizenship. It involves full audience participation as the children: - become the dragon and slayers in a finale dragon slaying scene - reenact the Lyminster Knucker pudding story, - make a Web of Wyrd with Beowulf, and - perform in our child dragon costumes. This play includes storytelling, mummers plays, physical theatre, clowning, circus, animal guising, dance, and folk song. We also offer the play in combination with our workshops. |
