It’s a folk tradition, a bit like Morris dancing. It is an amateur-dramatics performance of the story of St George, with elements of panto. Theo will be staging a very-amateur-indeed version with the help of some volunteers from the audience. And as he organises this brief piece of group theatre, he will tell the story of this folk tradition, which dates from medieval times, and perhaps has older pagan roots. At its heart is a conflict between good and evil, a celebration of the defeat of evil. Theo will suggest that Christian worship ought to make this basic story more central. It ought to rediscover aspects of primitive ritual. This raises some pretty large theological questions. What is religious ritual for? How can worship be made more engaging, exciting? Can it be revived by a new understanding of what it has in common with theatre? For according to many thinkers, theatre is intrinsically related to worship. Theo will not just talk about this - he will try to put it into practice, by incorporating the insights of theorists such as Artaud and Brecht into the play he stages before your very eyes. So the aim is to create a piece of instant theatre that is both fun and meaningful, and also to get people thinking about the deep connections between theatre and Christian worship. Theo will also tell how he recently staged a George and the Dragon play in his local park in London, and how he aims to repeat this on a larger scale.
