‘The Dragon’ Opening at Harper Joy Theatre
|
This week, the Harper Joy Theatre season continues with “The Dragon” by Evgeny Schwartz with performances March 5–7 at 8 p.m. and March 7–8 at 2 p.m. The play was translated by Elizabeth Reynolds Hapgood and is directed by Professor of Theater Christopher Petit. (Flyer attached.)
“The Dragon” is described as a darkly funny political satire disguised as a fairytale. Terrorized by a wicked dragon, a town gets a chance for freedom with the arrival of Sir Lancelot. On the surface, what looks like a fantastical world filled with shadow puppets, talking cats and live music reveals itself to be a timely exploration of autocracy and its corrupting effects on the human soul.
Tickets—free for Whitman students—are available through the box office.
