the snow dragons (National Theatre’s Connections winner 2017)
Directed by: James Allen/Adele Thomas/Jonnie Riordan (Frantic Assembly)
‘As they play, carefree on the mountain side, war rages below.’
In a small Norwegian village, eight children see their homes ripped apart by the brutality of the second world war. The Snow Dragons explores the resilience of children and the power of their curiosity and world darkened by war and conflict.
The songs and underscore were written for the cast and a live string quartet.
