The Near Sighted Knight And The Far Sighted Dragon

17/1/2013

By Eleanor and Ray Harder
Directed by Susan Cameron and Garry Thomas

​Season: 17 - 27 January 2013

A snappy, action-filled fairy tale.  Despite his extreme near-sightedness, an unemployed knight charges everything in his path, hoping to become a hero so he can get a job.

He tries to convince a career-minded princess she needs rescuing. But she's busy working on a mathematical formula to rescue her father, the king, imprisoned by a power-hungry duchess.

The knight charges forward, uninvited, to rescue the king, then he becomes sidetracked by an opportunity to fight a dragon.

The non-violent, rather mellow dragon and the exasperated princess subdue the knight and then the trio follow the princess' plan to rescue the king.

Cast:

Young, unemployed knight, near sighted, acts without thinking.

Far-Sighted Dragon - Carole Anderson
Old, semi-retired, far-sighted, friendly and mellow.
