The Production

• 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 maker 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 has enchanted young minds for more than twenty five years with stories that 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 life-long friendships, jumbly words and even some whizzpopping in front of the Queen!

  This new production is adapted by David Wood and directed by Phil Clark.

  This is a whizzcracking show - you'd be bogswinkled to miss it!

  The BFG is a funny, weird story and is beautifully realised here

  The magic of a child's imagination is what epitomised Dahl's stories and this is dished out in giant-sized portions here. The audience is enveloped in a dreamy, all-sensory experience as the gloomy lighting and eerily undulating score trick and tickle them on to the pages of the classic tale.
