GIANT - The Play

Running time: 135 mins

GIANT, the 5-star critically acclaimed play starring John Lithgow (Killers Of The Flower Moon, The Crown) as Roald Dahl, comes to the big screen. Winner of 3 Olivier Awards� including Best Play and a Tony Award� for Best Actor in a Play (John Lithgow), the production was filmed live in London�s West End ahead of its sold-out Broadway run. The stellar cast includes Aya Cash (The Boys, The Franchise, You�re The Worst), Elliot Levey (Cold War, Patriots, Good) and Rachael Stirling (The Divine Mrs S). 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.
