An archetypal Hero is reframed as a mature woman in the modern world.
Gripped with fear at her advancing years, she sets off on an epic quest to defeat Chronos, the god of time, and halt the inevitable - ageing. Will she succeed?
Enter the Dragons is an hilarious, surreal odyssey through the challenges of growing older, which explodes myths about beauty, sex and femininity.
Expect fantastical characters, ridiculous puppetry and extreme wigs. A knock-out combination of joy and dissent for anyone considering ageing.
