Where Dragons Live
Event details
Directed by Suzanne Raes
Starring Edward Impey, Harriet Impey, Lawrence Impey
An intimate and enchanting portrait of childhood fears, imagination and the enduring power of the memories that shape our lives.
When you are afraid of the dark, scared of monsters, and trying to be brave enough to face them, you’d better invent a story. For Harriet and her three older brothers, growing up ‘among dragons’ at Cumnor Place was a life of enchanted gardens, Arthurian legends and things that go bump in the night. Theirs was a rarified, story-book childhood that stoked their wildest imagination and greatest fears in equal measure.
Now adults and with both of their parents deceased, where they once played make believe and slayed dragons, the siblings must come together to clear out the family estate so it’s ready for sale – and in the process, come to terms with who they are, given their unorthodox and at times traumatic upbringing.
