Kevin Rolstons critically acclaimed "Deal with the Dragon", a three-character, one-man performance hailed as truly bravura (Edinburgh Guide), and meticulously written and exquisitely performed (Huffington Post), comes to the Magic Theatre for a limited run. Developed with and directed by M. Graham Smith, written by/starring Rolston, and produced by TigerBear Productions, the captivating comedy unfurls a cunning grown-up fairy tale laced with terror in this new production which audiences will find revised from previous Bay Area outings. Deftly staged and artfully performed, Deal with the Dragon was selected as one of the top 20 theater shows (out of 900) to see at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe by The List. KQED Arts theatre critic John Wilkins named it one of six singular and brilliant plays of 2016, declaring Deal with the Dragon gave me more after-the-fact pleasure than any other play this yearthis show burrowed into my mind. This free-wheeling fantasy finds an artist desperate to land a gallery show at a prestigious museum, an acolyte who will stop at nothing to protect the artists process, and a flamboyant rival competing for the same museum slot, all portrayed by Rolston in a performance SF Weekly called infused with razor blades that have been soaked in honey.Show runs July 22 August 14, 20228pm Thursdays-Saturdays3pm Sundays
