Britain's What's On Event Guide
The BFG
Gather your chiddlers to see Roald Dahl’s beloved story come to life this spring. This magical, darkly comic and mischievous new stage adaptation comes to Chichester Festival Theatre following its run at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and is 'big, feisty and glorious' (Mail on Sunday).
One extraordinary night, a young orphan named Sophie is snatched by a giant and taken far away to Giant Country. There she learns that human-eating giants are guzzling ‘norphans’ the world over. But she soon discovers that her new friend, the BFG, is different – he’s a dream-catching, snozzcumber-munching gentle soul who refuses to eat humans.
While other giants wreak havoc on the world, the BFG ignites Sophie’s imagination, and they devise a daring plan to save children everywhere. In the end, the smallest human bean and the gentlest giant prove that a dream can change the world.
For ages 8+
