An experimental adult puppet show that tells ancient mythologies of dragons across cultures and time, exploring eco-feminism, and what it means to slay a creature of power.

Bria McCarthy, an exciting and visionary writer, multi-media artist and shadow puppeteer, will take you on a journey through re-conceived and subverted dragon stories from Ancient Greece, old English folklore, the bible and Bria's personal dreaming. Through atmospheric live music, mesmerising light play and intricate storytelling, this show will transport you from the theatre into a captivating world of new lore that will stay with you long after you go home.

Laura Franzi - Playwave

"Brianna McCarthy has constructed a mirror into our world, tracing around the forgotten shapes and colours that sprout from the wonders of nature. She draws our attention to the beauty we so easily take for granted."

Abbie Gallagher - Theatre Travels

"A Game For Flies is nothing short of mesmerising...my one hope is that this comes back on a larger scale."
