Can the laughter of a child melt the cold heart of a selfish giant? Yes it can! This adaptation of Oscar Wilde's beautiful fairytale will warm the hearts of young and old alike.
The show opens with Oscar Wilde greeting the audience and inviting us to remember our "Wilde Imagination" and our childhood; a time when we were free. Suddenly, before our eyes, an empty stage becomes the world of the Selfish Giant as the talented cast enacts this wonderful tale through the use of dance, puppetry, music and storytelling.
The Selfish Giant lived all alone in his big, cold castle - seeing no one day in and day out except his faithful servant, Martha. All around the castle lay the most beautiful garden you have ever seen, but the Giant never used his garden, he barely knew that it was there.
Join us for a very special journey inside the mind of Oscar Wilde - Watch as we transform the stage from literally nothing into the magical land of Wilde's imagination.
