The Dragon Griswynd
The Dragon Griswynd
In THE DRAGON GRISWYND, Mr. Turner portrays the title character, the last (dragon) of his kind on earth, who lives alone in an extinct volcano, high above a dying world. Desperate for companionship, he begs unexpected visitors to stay with him, or at least take him with them.
The play - poignant and playful - depicts a once mighty figure, like Earth itself, facing mortality. Ms. Robbins adds that the play is meant, "to be a meditation on loss and loneliness - the loneliness that comes with old age, old fangs, weak wings."
