About Giant at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London

"I wanted to put you bang in the picture. Apprise you of the difficulties. Because, in case you hadn't noticed, he's a human f**king boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!"

A world-famous children's author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends...

The year is 1983, the season is Summer, The Witches are about to hit the shelves of bookshops everywhere and Roald Dahl is busy making last-minute edits. 

However, the public outcry at his recent, explicitly anti-semitic article won't die down. 

Across a single afternoon at his family home - 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 explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.
