*I wanted to put you bang in the picture. Appraise you of the difficulties. Because, in case you hadnt noticed, hes a human fucking boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!*A world-famous childrens author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends Its 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 wont 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 explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.Directed by __Nicholas Hytner__ (*Straight Line Crazy, La Belle Sauvage*) and starring Tony and Golden Globe-winner __John Lithgow__ (*Killers of the Flower Moon, The Crown*), alongside Olivier Award-winner __Elliot Levey__ (*Cold War, Cabaret, Good*), *Giant* offers a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.Post Show Talk - Tuesday 1st October 7.30pm__Access Performances__Captioned performances - Saturday 2nd November 1.30pm & Wednesday 6th November 7.30pmRelaxed environment - Saturday 2nd November 1.30pmAudio Described performance - Saturday 9th November 1.30pmBSL Interpreted performance - Saturday 9th November 6.30pm
