Following a sell-out run at the royal court, the play everyone is talking about, GIANT, is transferring to the West End’s Harold Pinter Theatre.

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*cking boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!

Tony and Golden Globe-winner John Lithgow (Killers of the Flower Moon, 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 and Richard Hope (Hijack) as Wally Saunders. Further casting to be announced.

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
