The Dragon Play
On a lonely farm in northern Minnesota, a husband and wife's peaceful existence is shattered by the appearance of an unexpected visitor.  On a hot stretch of highway in central Texas, a boy befriends a wounded dragon.  Spanning two moments in time and space and blurring the lines between each, The Dragon Play explores what happens when reality and fantasy converge, when desire and duty conflict, and when our deepest secrets show up breathing fire.

Shrewd Productions is proud to present the first-ever production of Jenny Connell's The Dragon Play, running Thursdays - Saturdays at 8pm at the BLUE Theatre, March 22 through April 14.  Directed by Shannon Grounds, The Dragon Play stars Liz Fisher (Uncle Vanya), Rommel Sulit (Big Love), Joseph Garlock (Servant of Two Masters), Amelia Turner (LEAR) and Xander Slay-Tamkin (The Physicists), with set design by Shrewd company member and Trouble Puppet Artistic Director, Connor Hopkins (Civilization), lights by Patrick Anthony (Big Love), video design by Lowell Bartholomee (The Method Gun), sound by The Gunn Brothers (Men of Tortuga) and original compositions by founding Shrewd T. Lynn Mikeska (The Long Now).
