When his parents are eaten by a runaway rhinoceros that has escaped from London Zoo, James Henry Trotter is sent to live with his evil Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. Lonely and overworked, James meets a mysterious old man who gives him a marvellous magic bag of glowing green crystals. After accidently scattering them in his garden, he is amazed to find that a peach has started to grow on a withering tree, but this is no ordinary peach as it continues to grow to the size of a house! Excited, James discovers a secret tunnel leading to the centre and begins to realise that this may be the answer to his dreams…
James and The Giant Peach will take you on a magical, musical adventure across the Atlantic with James and an oversized grasshopper, ladybug, centipede, glow-worm, spider and earthworm for company. Full of fun, friendships and frolicking feats, this exciting musical comedy written by Roald Dahl and adapted by award-winning playwright, David Wood OBE, will sweeten your spirits this Christmas. A colourful, classic treat for all the family.
