The BFG

Activity Description

Roald Dahl’s unforgettable story comes to life in a magical new adaptation by Tom Wells (The Kitchen Sink, Jumpers For Goalposts), directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director (and former CFT Artistic Director) Daniel Evans, whose previous productions include 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.
