See Roald Dahl stories on stage
Our Theatre Division was set up to create shows which capture the timeless appeal of Roald Dahl's stories and characters, whilst also speaking powerfully to today’s audiences. We work with brilliant playwrights, directors and songwriters who delight in the stories' spirit of mischief, honesty and humour. The result is a series of new shows which deliver everything you love about Dahl’s stories and the very best theatre talent.
We’re starting with theatre but we’re not stopping there. Keep your ears pricked and your eyes peeled for our Roald Dahl inspired Circus … it’s going to be spectacular!
The BFG
ON STAGE
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. In the end, the smallest human bean and the gentlest giant prove that a dream can change the world.
The Enormous Crocodile

'For my lunch today I would like... a nice juicy little child!'
