Opis

Based on the classic story by Kenneth Grahame, this was the first theatrical adaptation sanctioned by Grahame's estate. The townsfolk of Sussex, England are shocked when they discover a dragon living amongst them. But this dragon is far from the menacing fire breathing creature they envision. The truth is Alexander the Dragon is a peaceful fellow who likes to eat tarts and write poetry. Malcolm, the dragon's new friend, tries to convince the townsfolk that they need not fear the dragon, but because of the townsfolk's prejudices against dragons they insist on eliminating him from their town. It is up to Malcolm to come up with a solution to save the poor Dragon. Emma Gelders Sterne's adaptation captures the spirit and excitement of the original story and creates a marvelous theatrical adventure.
