Event cinema screening of 'Giant', the Olivier Award-winning play directed by Nicholas Hytner and starring John Lithgow as Roald Dahl.
Giant comes to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Wednesday 25 November, 7pm. It's an event cinema screening of the play, filmed live in London's West End before its sold-out Broadway run, so you get the full stage production on the big screen rather than a live performance on the night.
John Lithgow stars as Roald Dahl, and the play is set in the summer of 1983. It catches Dahl facing the fallout from a recent, explicitly antisemitic article, forced to choose between making a public apology or risking his reputation. It's a look at a very specific, difficult moment in the life of one of the twentieth century's most famous writers, and it runs 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Lithgow is the lead, and he's joined by Aya Cash, Elliot Levey, Rachael Stirling, Tessa Bonham Jones and Richard Hope. The production was directed by Nicholas Hytner, and it's a five-star, critically acclaimed piece that picked up three Olivier Awards, including Best Play, and a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for Lithgow, who you'll also recognise from Killers of the Flower Moon and The Crown.
