James Henry Trotter lives with his two horrid aunts. One day, as he saves the life of a spider, some magic crocodile tongues come into his possession – and it’s not long before a ginormous PEACH starts to grow in the garden! Read more …
Venturing inside the peach, not only does he meet the spider he rescued, but a number of new friends including an Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybird and Earthworm
James and the insects set out on the adventure of a lifetime as they escape from his nasty aunts and plan a new life far, far away.
James’ astonishing adventure will fulfil the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl's story comes hilariously to life in this delightful tale of good, evil and - above all - friendship.
Verdict: Not particularly Christmassy or festive, but it is for kids and the company pulls it out of the ordinary.
The result was a peach-flavoured sweet instead of a genuine fruit.
Dundee Rep Theatre, Dundee from Thursday November 27, 2014, until Wednesday December 31, 2014. More info: www.dundeereptheatre.co.uk
