Giant explores a controversial chapter in the life of children’s author Roald Dahl, examining the public scandal surrounding his antisemitic remarks and the enduring impact on his legacy. The play portrays Dahl at a pivotal moment when fame, ego, and conscience collide, revealing the complexities of one of literature’s most celebrated yet divisive figures.

Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe Award winner John Lithgow (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Crown, Conclave) reprises his Olivier Award-winning role as Dahl, returning to the part after its acclaimed London debut.

Written by Mark Rosenblatt and directed by Nicholas Hytner, Giant received the Olivier Award for Best Play. Following widespread critical praise—including a five-star review from The Daily Mail—this limited 16-week Broadway engagement brings the production’s acclaimed creative team and performance to New York audiences.
