"Dragon Medicine is a powerful and imaginative series of monologues that explores what happens when voices go unheard. When individuals feel dismissed or silenced, conflict erupts, they thrash, they act out. ETC brushes off the dust from this powerful work written by the late Howell Pearre where each character symbolizes a “dragon,” delivering a raw, honest and revealing monologue that lays bare their inner world."
