Have you seen Giant yet?

A world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends... It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.

Inspired by real events, GIANT explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Giant

'Giant' Broadway review — John Lithgow, as Roald Dahl, lifts a scarily topical play
8 / 10

Through it all, two-time Tony Award winner Lithgow ascends in a calculated performance. He’s charming, chilling, snarling, and reprehensible until he finally, intentionally, digs himself a into a deeper hole in a phone interview. Reveling in his true self, Lithgow’s Dahl looks like a kid contentedly sucking an Everlasting Gobstopper.

Giant
8 / 10

Small details aside, though, Rosenblatt succeeds (with some dramatic license) in painting the big picture: Dahl was a brilliant author and an awful human being. As for Lithgow, he succeeds in reminding us just how much of a theatrical giant he still is!
