' The Reluctant Dragon '
A play for St. George's day based on a story by Kenneth Grahame
Produced by David Davis
' So they set off up the hill arm-in-arm, the saint, the dragon, and the boy. The lights in the village began to go out, but there were stars and a late moon. Snatches of an old song were borne back on the night breeze. I can't be certain which of them was singing, but I think it was the dragon! '
