Doris Drake
A touring walkabout act, Doris Drake is a collaboration with Applause.
Can you help the dragons?
A walkabout act designed to be performed in 30 minute slots, perfect for a variety of events, from fairs and fetes to village halls, and features two actor-puppeteers from Rust & Stardust.
Doris Drake, self-titled Dragon Sanctuary Director and mytho-ecological warrior, needs your help!
Accompanied by Daria, her beautiful rescue dragon, Doris is on a mission to gather enough signatures on her petition to persuade the King and Council to protect the natural habitats of dragons and other mythical species.
Join Doris’ campaign, and make friends with Daria to encourage her to trust humans. In exchange for signatures, Daria the Silver Lindorm might breathe some of her magical dream dust and help all your wishes come true…
The gentle walkabout act encourages audiences to be kind to animals and preserve natural habitats, with a lightly drawn ecological angle about the effects of climate change on the natural world. Audiences have conversations and participate in ‘activism’ and enjoy an element of magic as Daria breathes glittering dream dust and grants wishes.
