A WORLD-FAMOUS CHILDREN’S AUTHOR UNDER THREAT.

A BATTLE OF WILLS IN THE WAKE OF SCANDAL.

AND ONE CHANCE TO MAKE AMENDS.

Following an acclaimed West End run and three Olivier Awards, GIANT tells the story of Roald Dahl and the true scandal that shook his legacy.

Tony, Golden Globe, and Olivier Award-winner John Lithgow (Conclave, The Crown) reprises his extraordinary, career-defining performance as Roald Dahl. Written by Mark Rosenblatt, directed by Nicholas Hytner, and designed by Bob Crowley.



SYNOPSIS:

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.



Information is subject to change prior to opening night.

Performances are scheduled to begin March 11, 2026.
