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 darkly comic and mischievous new stage adaptation by Tom Wells, with dramaturgy and additional material by Jenny Worton, is directed by former CFT Artistic Director, current RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans, whose Chichester productions included Quiz, South Pacific and Our Generation.
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 terrorise 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+
