The BFG, Dundee Rep

When Sophie spies a giant figure making his way along the road, she is spotted! Snatched! and soon begins her long journey to Giant Country. Read more …

Luckily for Sophie, this giant is the Big Friendly Giant who doesn’t eat ‘human beans’ - just foul tasting snozzcumbers, fizzy frobscottle, and conjures the loudest whizzpoppers you have ever heard!

Soon the unlikely duo team up to save the world from the horrible child-eating giants from Giant Country assisted by the Army, the Airforce, and even the Queen!  The pair hatch a plan to capture the giants so the BFG can once again, collect and distribute good dreams to children all over the world.

As the world’s number one storyteller, Roald Dahl has captivated the minds of the young and the young at heart for many years, with stories that encourage squeals of both terror and delight, bringing the wildest of imaginations and dreams to life.

So come on a journey with Sophie and the BFG – you won't believe your gogglers!


The critical consensus

This BFG never seems short of enchantment or joy and sends its audience home as happy as any Christmas show I’ve seen this year.

Charming, brilliantly designed and well-acted though Joe Douglas’s production is, it does occasionally lack a bit of pace. That, however , is a price worth paying for another yuletide success at Dundee Rep.
