About "The BFG (Big Friendly Giant)"
Roald Dahl's wickedly funny book about the friendship between a 24-foot Big Friendly Giant and a little orphan named Sophie is faithfully adapted for the stage by the UK's “National Children's Dramatist” (Irving Wardle - The Times). Using humor, delightful nonsense language and puppets, the play follows the BFG and Sophie as they team up with the Queen to save the children of England from the child-eating giants, Bloodbottler, Flesh-lumpeater, Bonecruncher, Meatdripper, Childchewer and Gizzardgulper! Adapted for the stage by David Wood.
