This show broke box office records at the Old Rep theatre in Birmingham
last Christmas and has played to enthusiastic audiences on its Spring/Summer
tour this year.
Perfect for children of four years old and upwards, James And The
Giant Peach is one of Dahl’s less ‘scary’ stories packed with fun
and adventure.
The story tells the amazing tale of James, a lonely young boy who
lives with Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, two of the most horrible aunts
in England.
One day an accident with a bag full of magic near an old peach tree
makes some truly incredible things start to happen James’s adventures
begin and take him both up in the sky and across the sea.
He meets many wonderful insect characters and together they face danger
and difficulties with a giant peach.
James and the Giant Peach was Roald Dahl's first book and remains
one of the most popular he ever wrote. |
