The story of Saint George and the Dragon has captured the imagination of children for centuries. 

Saint George is the patron saint to a total of eight countries, including England.

Robert Reed about the play Saint George, the Dragon and the Lamp: "Everyone knows the story of how the brave Saint George defeated the dragon, so it's fun to change the plot slightly with the inclusion of a magic lamp and a confused genie".
