Giant

Following a sell-out run at the Royal Court and 3 Olivier wins including Best New Play, Best Actor for John Lithgow and Best Supporting Actor for Elliot Levey, the play everyone is talking about is transferring to the West End.

“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*****g 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…

Tony, Golden Globe and Olivier Award-winner John Lithgow (Conclave, The Crown) will reprise his extraordinary performance as Roald Dahl with Olivier Award-winner Elliot Levey (Cold War, Patriots, Good) returning as Tom Maschler, Rachael Stirling
(The Divine Mrs S) as Felicity Crosland, Richard Hope (Hijack) as Wally Saunders, and Tessa Bonham Jones (Dune: Prophecy, The Young Woman and the Sea) as Hallie. Joining the cast will be Aya Cash (The Boys, The Franchise, You’re The Worst) making her West End debut as US Publisher Jessie Stone.

Written by Mark Rosenblatt, directed by Nicholas Hytner and designed by Bob Crowley, The Royal Court's production of Giant is coming to the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End for a strictly limited 14-week run beginning 26 April 2025
