This fall, Theater 86 presents Evgeny Schwartz’s The Dragon—a darkly funny political fable about tyranny, obedience and the dangers of complacency. Written in 1943 and long censored in the Soviet Union, the play follows a knight who sets out to slay a three-headed dragon, only to find the real battle lies with townspeople too accustomed to oppression to let it go. Satirical, sharp and uncannily timely, The Dragon skewers dictatorship, misinformation, and corruption while asking: what happens when a society resists its own liberation?
