Siegfried

An orphaned boy, brought up deep in the forest, is growing up. He asks uncomfortable questions as he starts to seek independence from his foster-parent, Mime. The boy is Siegfried, who will fully emancipate himself from Mime (come and find out how!), slay a dragon, learn the speech of a spirit-bird to guide him, and unwittingly enter the cosmic struggle between immortals for the baleful Ring. Starting at 4.00pm, there will be breaks for dining and refreshment of 90 minutes and 25 minutes between acts.
