GIANT - The Play

It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.

Inspired by real events, GIANT - The Play explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.

Filmed live at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre, the Olivier Award-winning GIANT - The Play stars John Lithgow, Aya Cash, Jessie Stone, Elliot Levey, Rachael Stirling, Tessa Bonham Jones and Richard Hope.
