The BFG at Watford Palace Theatre

Watford Palace Theatre presents Roald Dahl’s enduringly popular children’s book, The BFG. This well-loved story of a dream-blowing, big friendly giant (BFG) and orphan girl Sophie in the land of child-eating giants has an extensive UK tour in 2009. It will open at Watford Palace Theatre on Tuesday April 28 until Saturday May 2. When little Sophie is snatched out of her bed in the dead of night by the BFG, she fears the worst. His grisly neighbours, the Bloodbottler and the Fleshlumpeater, like nothing more than swalloping human ‘beans’, especially nice little ‘childers’. But the BFG is a dream-maker and not a man-eater and he’s about to take Sophie on a journey she never expected! The BFG is classic Dahl and this brand new stage show promises to mix up heart-pounding adventures with life-long friendships, jumbly words and even some whizzpopping in front of the Queen!
