There are 68 speaking parts in this production. This can easily be increased by adding more children to the large group scenes.
The 68 speaking parts can be easily decreased to 36 by reducing number of characters, splitting lines and doubling up parts. Further reductions would be possible with alterations to the script. See staging notes above for more details.

Great songs but awful story
The songs and music are great but the story/script is painful. Awful gender stereotypes and laboured humour. I attempted to adapted it to stop the female roles being so dated but ended up rewriting a completely different script using the songs. Worked beautifully and used the very singable songs. And we had a kick-ass, compassionate female lead that was a proper role model for my girls.
Great!
I've just purchased dragon days 3 days ago and i'm always learning the songs on my piano from the book and teaching the songs to my class. We're peforming it on Friday and it's working out really well!
Amazing
It was amazing we haven't performed it yet but we have all learnt our lines I played old ma and the character is amazing and hilarious we have added our own touch but we are all exited to perform As we perform 4 or 5 times Thank you
Brilliant
Perfect for primary school children. Hilarious but also has a good moral
The greatest show in the whole, wide world!
"A perfect play for Years 3 and 4." "I loved listening to the soundtrack and everyone was lucky to get a part. I played Gilda and I loved it! I got to add a lot of expression especially when she went through the mountains!" "Being in Dragon Days and especially playing Villager 1, was a time that I will never forget in my whole life!" "I loved the hashtag song and the actions we added to the dance." "My mum loved the hashtag song so much that she even joined in with the hashtag actions!"
Fiery-wonderful musical!
Wow. This performance has EVERYTHING! Catchy songs, hidden leimotifs and funny jokes, it's a wonderful experience for the entire school.
excellent
This is a very good play with 9 enjoyable songs.
The children were "sold" as soon as they heard the first song!
The kid's and parents loved it! It's going to be hard to beat this production. A witty script, catchy songs and a perfect length. Everyone involved found it manageable.
It made grown teachers cry!
Just a quick email to say how much we are enjoying performing Dragon Days. We had to adjust it a little bit – our children are Y2. Our soloists for Dragon skin shoes and a Dragon’s life made grown teachers cry!
A Great Success
Our Year 6 class have just finished performing Dragon Days and it has been a great success with the children and parents. The script is up to date with modern references (#Selfies) and the songs are catchy and appeal to Year 6 children. Thanks to the advice given in the script, it was easy and quick to adapt the show for a class of 35 children.
It is amazing!
I loved acting as Gawain and the solo I had touched the hearts of many viewers. I was very happy that there was two chances of getting a solo. Some parts of the play were very funny,but this is the only play I've ever done that has a moral. Thank you for creating this extraordinary play!!! :-)
