A world-famous children's author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And a chance to make amends...
It's the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won't die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
Inspired by real events, Mark Rosenblatt's debut play Giant offers a nuanced portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon--and explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.
Mark Rosenblatt is a writer and director for stage and screen. He has worked as a freelance theatre director across the UK and internationally, directing productions at Shakespeare's Globe, the National Theatre, Sheffield Theatres, Northampton Theatres, Leeds Playhouse, the Edinburgh Festival, for HighTide Festival Theatre, at the Young Vic, in the West End, off-Broadway and Tokyo, to name a few. Former associate director at Leeds Playhouse and at the National Theatre Studio, his work as a playwright work includes Giant (Royal Court Theatre, London, 2024; West End, 2025), which won Best New Play at the 2025 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards, and where Rosenblatt was also named Most Promising Playwright.
