St. George and the Dragon. An iconic tale from English literature. The story of good vanquishing evil. A saga where the courageous, virtuous, and dependable knight defeats the vile dragon.
But how would this story play out if we swap the titular St. George with another iconic English character? How about, instead of a noble knight, the rowdy Mr. Punch takes over? Now, that's a whole different story!
That's just what Runaway Puppet Theater does with their production Mr. Punch & the Dragon. It's a boisterous, slapstick retelling of the classic tale.
Does Mr. Punch become a valiant knight? Does he save Judy from the clutches of the evil dragon? Does he even want to?
This 30 minute production is highly interactive and will get audiences motivated to read more about the noble St. George and the rascally Mr. Punch, and helps encourage kids to maintain their reading skills during summer vacation.
