Review: In ‘Giant’ on Broadway, John Lithgow plays Roald Dahl in a fight over antisemitism
7 / 10
What we have here is, in essence, a furiously verbose debate play revolving around two very prescient questions. One is the degree to which criticism of the actions or the existence of the State of Israel inevitably slides into antisemitism, a debate that rages daily on the pages of this and other newspapers. The other is the extent to which the work of a great artist should be judged, admired or published without regard to their personal views. We still argue over that, too.
