THE DRAGON'S EGG

This is a promenade event in which audience and artists move from space to space.  You will be guided!   Enjoy the event.   

Inspiration is drawn from Thomas Hardy,  Mars, March, the hardiness of being, the Hardy Boys??, spring, equinox... Here we are!

N. B. If the weather is good, we shall begin with the Superhero Mars piece in the Amphitheatre, and then move indoors.  If, however, March is raining, the Mars piece will be in the cellar, as parenthesed below.  There will be beasty interludes, based on Tess of the d’Ubervilles.
