Giant

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

IMDbIn 32 daysDrama

Set in the summer of 1983, just before the release of The Witches, Giant imagines a tense meeting between Roald Dahl and his American and British publishers as they scramble to contain the fallout from his public denunciation of Israel and defence of the Palestinians in a review of a book on the 1982 Lebanon war. Filmed live onstage at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2025.
