What Does It Take To Slay a Dragon? By @becxh
11-20 June @53two

When Billy is asked to take his England flag out of his work van, it starts a chain of events that change his life forever - only this play isn’t just about Billy. It’s about all of us.

@reviewernumber9 @shabandar @GeorgeMiller @simonnaylor @JamesQuinn @OliviaSweeney @takebacktheatre I went on Saturday and it was MAGNIFICENT.
The actors we’re top notch
It’s astounding that the theatre wasn’t full because it should have been.
Thank you to all for a wonderful night out.

Really interesting part of the conversation about right left, class, race, getting offended and protest. Also hope. I think this exploration was very well performed, written and told.

I had the opportunity to see #WhatDoesItTakeToSlayADragon @takebacktheatre @53two yesterday. Thought-provoking urgent theatre with innovative staging whose themes sit and percolate for hours after. Great work by all involved.

[Steven Lindsay @StevenJLindsay]

People of Greater Manchester and around listen up. This play by @takebacktheatre @53two is outstanding. You really should go. But only if you like well written theatre that makes you think. Otherwise, don’t bother.

It was great to interview @becxh about writing the new play What Does it Take to Slay a Dragon? It looks set to be divisive, thought-provoking, edgy, & funny. There are songs, too. It opens @53two 11th June. Interview will follow later this week @ILoveMCR

Writers drop in underway at @53two - today we’re doing an exercise called every ending is another beginning… using the last lines of plays without context as a starting point - that could be as the first line of a story, a monologue or the inspiration that kicks off a new scene!

The short film includes historical footage spanning the Coliseum's storied past, edited by Andonis Anthony and Grant Archer
