A terrible drought has overtaken the land, and all the world has turned brown and lifeless. The Dragon King is ruler of the waters, and the people are beginning to wonder why he has not brought the precious rains in such a very long time.

With colorful sea creatures, an exciting adventure, and all the gorgeous puppets of the Tanglewood Marionettes, the Dragon King is sure to thrill young and old alike.
