It is not every day that kids get to enter a dragon’s mouth but that is exactly what they can do at PLAYtime! The Dragon’s Dentist, the Esplanade’s first show of PLAYtime! 2019.

The Dragon’s Dentist is filled with interactive props and vibrant music, making it ideal for children between the ages of 2 to 6 years old. It runs at the Esplanade Theatre Studio from 1 to 17 March 2019.

All is well until Bactee the Bacteria appears. Toothy befriends Bactee but Master disapproves of their friendship. This leaves Toothy with a decision to make and her choice results in consequences for Dragon’s teeth.
