Giant

Giant is all about a gigantic scandal, based on real life. Roald Dahl's children's books are loved the world over for their quirky humour, rebelliousness, cool characters and fun plots. On the dark side, he was notorious for his antisemitic views. When he rave-reviewed a book condemning Israel over the 1982 West Beirut siege the ensuing furore left him with a stark choice: apologise or lose everything. The excellent John Lithgow plays the author in a role that gathered acclaim from critics and audiences alike, driving a well-deserved transfer to the West End. If you love your plays quirky, thought provoking and powerful, don't miss this one.

US actor and multi-award winner John Lithgow (Third Rock From The Sun, Killers of the Flower Moon, The Crown) reprises his sell-out role as Dahl, described as 'magnificent'. Olivier Award-winning Elliot Levey (Cold War, Patriots, Good) returns as Tom Maschler, Rachael Stirling (The Divine Mrs S) as Felicity Crosland and Richard Hope (Hijack) as Wally Saunders. Directed by Nicholas Hytner (Straight Line Crazy, La Belle Sauvage). Bob Crowley is the Designer, Anna Watson is the Lighting Designer, Alexandra Faye Braithwaite is the Sound Designer and Arthur Carrington is the Casting Director. Giant is produced in the West End by Brian and Dayna Lee, Stephanie Kramer and Nicole Kramer, Josh Fiedler, and Robyn Goodman.
