A dragon whisperer on a mission. An evil queen who must be stopped. Jellyfish Theatre\u2019s The Dragon Wagon is rolling into Brighton Fringe this May. A free, joyful outdoor show that pitches up in the heart of the community.\r\n\r\nThree actor-musicians take audiences on an original adventure, inviting them to help The Dragon Whisperer save the very last dragons from the Evil Queen. Live original music, hand-made puppets and an extraordinary caravan combine to tell the story with heart and humour. Made for ages 4-8, but nobody else can resist it either.\r\n\r\nOutdoor, visual, relaxed and completely free. No booking. Just turn up, bring a blanket and prepare to believe in dragons.\r\n<blockquote>\u201cWatching how children are so absorbed by the story is brilliant. You can almost see their brains processing it.
