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
A New Play About Roald Dahl and Antisemitism Marks a ‘Giant’ Step for the Broadway Season
9 / 10
Some of the most cutting and shocking lines in “Giant” are, like those mentioned at the beginning of this review, Dahl’s own, written or spoken decades ago, but that only makes them more relevant. You won’t see a more powerful play this season, or a more important one.
'Giant'
9 / 10
Together, they execute a taxonomy of Dahl’s bigotry. For all the imagined discourse and diatribes, Rosenblatt shrewdly leaves space for Dahl to hang himself with his own rope and caps “Giant” with the most of chilling of real-life quotes. Want to separate art from the artist? Not on Rosenblatt’s watch.
