The play is based on the story of Saint George and the Dragon, which has obviously been extrapolated upon to include Father Christmas, and draws upon the international story of the celebration of this time of the year. Altogether an amazing performance by the 3rd and 4th graders (*see correction). A great performance.Here is some more fun reading:

Not much information on Dr. Hooker on his Wikipedia page, but there is a lengthy amount of information pertaining to the history of Saint George and the Dragon, including a lengthy Wiki page, as well as another page concerning the painting by Renaissance painter Raphael.
