James and the Giant Peach

by Roald Dahl adapted by David Wood

This summer, watch our family show in the great outdoors.

In this delightful stage adaptation, Roald Dahl’s classic tale is faithfully told by James himself, along with the insect characters – Miss Spider, Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybird, and Earthworm.

The play begins at the end of the story, when James and his friends are living in the giant peach stone in Central Park, New York.

A tour guide brings a party of tourists (the audience) to see this major attraction, and James and his friends tell the story of how they came to live in New York.

The insects play the other roles, like James’s cruel Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, and the epic journey across the Atlantic is acted out with live action, puppetry and storytelling in David Wood's masterful adaptation.

THIS SHOW IS OUTDOORS SO COME PREPARED FOR THE GREAT BRITISH WEATHER - RAIN OR SHINE!

This amateur production of "James and the Giant Peach (Wood)" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd, on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
