Roald Dahl’s best-selling children’s book The BFG takes to the stage in an exciting new production at Blackpool’s Grand Theatre from Tuesday 31st March to Saturday 4th April.
This well-loved story from the world’s favourite children’s author tells the delightful tale of a dream-blowing Big Friendly Giant (BFG) and little orphan girl Sophie in the land of child-eating giants.
When little Sophie is snatched out of her bed in the dead of night by The BFG, she fears the worst. His grisly neighbours the Bloodbottler and the Fleshlumpeater like nothing more than swalloping human beans, especially nice little childers, but The BFG is a dream-maker and not a man-eater and he’s about to take Sophie on a journey she never expected.
An undisputed national treasure and award-winning children’s author - Roald Dahl has enchanted young minds for more than 25 years with stories that fire the imagination, bring dreams to life and release squeals of both terror and delight. The BFG is classic Dahl and this brand new stage show promises to mix up heart-pounding adventures with life-long friendships, jumbly words and even some whizzpopping in front of the Queen!
This thrilling new production is adapted by David Wood - the UK’s National Children’s Dramatist (The Times) and directed by Phil Clark. Phil Clark said: ‘The chance to create a new production of The BFG is extremely exciting and challenging. In a world of video games, television and Nintendos, it’s so important that young people experience the magic of live theatre. Our goal is to engage them in a fantastical world that has a real relevance to their lives.’ -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
