Childhood classic, but make it larger than life. The BFG (short for The Big Friendly Giant) stomps into Esplanade Theatre this April in a dazzling stage adaptation that will wow anyone who grew up with this beloved Roald Dahl children’s novel. Brought to life by the Royal Shakespeare Company (the same folks behind Matilda the Musical), this is no sleepy bedtime story. Sit tight for towering puppets, dreamlike visuals and a generous dose of Dahl’s deliciously odd humour.
Follow Sophie, a plucky orphan, as she’s whisked away to Giant Country and befriends the gentlest giant of them all – a snozzcumber-munching, dream-catching softie with a big heart. Together, they hatch a daring plan to outwit child-gobbling giants and save the world. It’s playful, slightly cheeky and visually spectacular. It's the kind of "Phizz-Whizzing" theatre that leans into imagination and runs with it. Bring the kids or just your inner one. Get your tickets here.
