GIGANTE

A production that has sparked debate wherever it has been performed.

Josep Maria Pou stars as Roald Dahl, the charismatic and controversial author of classics such as ‘Matilda, Charlie y la fábrica de chocolate y Las Brujas’, whose reputation was shaken by a series of highly controversial public statements.

Directed by Josep Maria Mestres and inspired by real events, Mark Rosenblatt's play offers a compelling portrait of the celebrated writer while exploring, with intelligence and wit, the fine line between freedom of expression, prejudice and public responsibility.

Summer 1983. As Roald Dahl reviews the proofs of his latest book, he faces the consequences of a recently published antisemitic article. Over the course of one afternoon, he must decide whether to apologise publicly or risk losing everything.
