THE SELFISH GIANT

Co-commissioned by Barnsley Civic and Stockton ARC. Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

 

In a very cold, grey town, not too far from here,
hidden behind a crumbling wall and a thousand signs
which say ‘KEEP OUT’, lives...The Selfish Giant.
So selfish he shut away garden where the children used
to play and cursed the town to never ending winter.

Or so the story goes...

But one curious child wants to discover what really lies within!

 

Oscar Wilde’s classic tale is reimagined for the stage in this magical adventure for the whole family.

 

"Clever design, exemplary storytelling, and raucous energy...a step above most family entertainment." Reviews Hub
