'This is a whizzcracking show - you'd be bogswinkled to miss it'
The Guardian
When little orphan Sophie is snatched out of her bed in the dead of night by the BFG, she fears the worst. His grisly neighbours, the Bloodbottler and the Fleshlumpeater like nothing more than swalloping human beans, especially nice little childers, but the Big Friendly Giant is a dream catcher and not a man-eater and he’s about to take Sophie on a journey she never expected!
An undisputed national treasure and the world’s favourite children’s author, Roald Dahl's classic stories fire the imagination, bring dreams to life and release squeals of both terror and delight.
The BFG is classic Dahl and this brand new stage show promises to mix up heart-pounding adventures with lifelong friendships, jumbly words and even some whizzpopping in front of the Queen!
This new production is adapted by David Wood – the UK’s ‘National Children’s Dramatist’ (The Times) and directed by Phil Clark.
‘This will thrill the kids without boring the adults – it’s quite scrumdiddlyumptious’
