Roald Dahl’s The BFG comes alive on stage in Singapore – a magical new production filled with big dreams and giant adventures.
The Royal Shakespeare Company, acclaimed worldwide for Matilda the Musical and My Neighbour Totoro, comes together with Chichester Festival Theatre and Roald Dahl Story Company to bring this brand-new stage adaptation of The Big Friendly Giant on its first international stop outside the UK.
One extraordinary night, a young orphan named Sophie is snatched by a giant and taken far away to Giant Country.
There she learns that human-eating giants are guzzling 'norphans' the world over. But she soon discovers that her new friend, the BFG, is different – he's a dream-catching, snozzcumber-munching gentle soul who refuses to eat humans.
While other giants wreak havoc on the world, the BFG ignites Sophie's imagination, and they devise a daring plan to save children everywhere. In the end, the smallest human bean and the gentlest giant prove that a dream can change the world.
Gather your chiddlers to see Roald Dahl’s unforgettable story come to life in Singapore.
Tom Wells’ magical new adaptation is directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans.
"A truly stunning and wildly inventive piece of storytelling, helmed by a first-class creative team masterfully combining theatre, puppetry, digital spectacle and illusion." – Bernie Bhangoo, Managing Director, the Roald Dahl Story Company
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to become part of Dahl's magical story, and step into wonder together with your family!
