Show Notes
The MUCH MORE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN are Aisling, Conor, Erika, Evan, Jack, Natalie and Nira. One day they discover a lost star, stuck in the watery depths of a pond. Read or listen to their story as they play with Conor’s very well-trained, pet dragon, heroically rescue the star and, because they are truly magnificent, make its greatest wish come true!
(This magical story by Paul Timoney, and The Much More Magnificent Seven was devised as part of a collaboration with the National Gallery of Ireland, LauraLyn Children's Hospice, The Abbey Theatre, and the National Concert Hall)
