Giant

By Mark Rosenblatt

A world-famous children's author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And a 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, Mark Rosenblatt's debut play Giant offers a nuanced portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon--and explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.
