    My family and I attended Sunday's performance of George and the Dragon. We were all completely enthralled at the skills on show. Grandsons aged 4 and 5 had differing views as to whether the dragon would appear whilst grandson aged 2 was transfixed from the animal noises at the beginning. The combination of puppetry, staging, humour, 'he's behind you' and declamation was perfectly judged. My daughters reminded me of their visits to the Da Silva puppet theatre when they were small. The explanations about the manipulations of the individual puppets and how they were made was especially interesting and several attempts have been made by now by the elder children. My 3-year old granddaughter liked the Princess best and knew the Chancellor was a fibber by his long Pinnochio-like nose, but she was outvoted by the two boys who particularly enjoyed the dragon and were disappointed that George triumphed. The speaking voices directly to the audiences were clear even for a slightly deaf grandfather, and the rolling of eyes by the young lady puppeteer and the interplay of visual humour between the two on stage was perfectly attuned to a young audience. Final words from the children - THANK YOU SO MUCH, WHY DID IT HAVE TO END? and WE HOPE WE CAN SEE ANOTHER SHOW SOON. Final words from the adults - EXCELLENT IN EVERY RESPECT, THANK YOU SO MUCH [We are just sorry we do not know the performers names].
