When the walls of a Welsh castle start to crumble because of the two dragons who live in the dungeon, only someone of pure Welsh heritage can stop the battle... but how exactly do you know if someone is Welsh or not?
Featuring music, rap, and a historical twist, this bold new play for children explores Britain’s black ancestry, challenging us to question the stories handed down from generation to generation.
Funny, fast and thought-provoking, The Welsh Dragon weaves together the well-known myth with historical hidden truths to explore identity, ethnicity, and the origins of human life on the British Isles.
BSL & Audio Description on Wednesday 9 October, 7.00pm.
BSL interpretation by Nikki Champagnie Harris and AD by Michelle Perez.

If turning 40 is the start of something new, what is it the end of?
