In the Time of Dragons is the action packed, funny and ultimately heartwarming new musical from The Edge

Get ready for the premier of In the Time of Dragons, an action packed, funny and ultimately heartwarming new musical from the creators of Spinach. Set simultaneously in 1965 and 2024, this feelgood show promises to be a highlight of the season. Sheelagh sings in a Cabaret Club off Deansgate and Jack is a music teacher. They both live, in their respective times, in a flat in Salford. One stormy night (and with the help of some seriously dodgy wiring) a rare phenomenon occurs and the notion of ‘now’ disappears. The past and the present meet and Jack and Sheelagh are thrown together as two unlikely roommates, tripping through time, and looking for the answers. Staring Tom Guest, Rupert Hill, Megan Keaveny & Hannah Nuttall, this show, packed full of great musical numbers, will send you home feeling warm, fuzzy and full of hope. Whatever you do, don’t miss it!
