The Last of the Dragons

Description

The Manistee Civic Players are happy to announce their upcoming Children's Theatre Production of The Last of the Dragons by Kristin Walter. The original story was written by Edith Nesbit, a beloved children's book author who broke the Edwardian model of writing stiffly moral children's books by turning out real-world yet rompingly funny and irreverent tales that children adored. THE STORY. In the kingdom of Middlefield, there is a tradition. On a princess' sixteenth birthday, she is tied to a rock, kidnapped by a dragon, rescued by a prince and lives happily ever after. But what happens when the prince is too afraid to fight, the princess wants to do the rescuing by herself, and the dragon is nowhere to be found. Adapted from the story by Edith Nesbit, The Last of the Dragons tells a tale of bravery, intelligence and unexpected friendship. The Last of The Dragons will be performed at the Ramsdell Theatre on Friday and Saturday, February 13 and 14 at 7 PM and Sunday, February 15 at 2 PM. General admission tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children.
