James and the Giant Peach

Wed 15 May - Sun 19 May 2013

Family

Roald Dahl’s classic book James and the Giant Peach tells the story of James, a lonely young boy who lives with Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, two of the most revolting Aunts in England.

They make him work and slave and never let him play with other children. Then one day he meets a mystical old man who gives him a bag that contains the strongest magic the world has ever known.

When James accidentally spills the bag near an old peach tree, the most incredible things start to happen – and James’s adventure has just begun!

The Birmingham Stage Company proudly presents Roald Dahl’s amazing story, following its acclaimed productions of George's Marvellous Medicine, Horrible Histories and The Jungle Book.

If you’re looking for fruitfilled fun and wizzpopping wonders, then don’t miss James and his Giant Peach at the Grand Opera House Belfast!

What the critics say

"The multi-talented company, who sing, dance and play musical instruments as well as act, bounce through the show with great energy and charm, working as a strong ensemble."

Reviews Gate

"The saxophone-playing Spider, Ladybird and the dour Earthworm were also on top form in this five-star family production."

The Birmingham Post

"At the end of this near-two hour show the cast left the stage to long and loud applause and waves from cheering parents and children – the best review of all."

The Birmingham Post

"The seamless combination of strong actors, incredible musical talent and the original use of props, such as skateboards, hula hoops and scooters, offers an impressive, uplifting, laugh-out-loud show."

The Stage

"With scenes set under water, above land and- of course - inside a peach...the company has pulled off a beautiful version of this colourful classic."
