The city of Lasia is beseiged by a nightmarish dragon, and ruled over with an iron fist by a charismatic leader and his army. Few in the city, if any, have seen the foul beast with their own eyes, and yet all fear it. As each full moon draws near the monster demands a blood sacrifice, a bitter penalty that tears at the collective soul of the cityfolk. However, as the time of the next sacrifice draws near, a hero miraculously appears… But who is this hero? And what kind of person would be brave or foolish enough to challenge the might of the dragon? As the sacrifice draws nears, it would seem that all is not as it first appears in the beleaguered city…

This emergent work is a modern retelling of the George & The Dragon myth is a story of greed, apathy, corruption and human redemption told through words, music and movement and featuring simple, bold staging and props.
