The story of Roald Dahl’s classic tale is faithfully told by James himself and the insect characters: Miss Spider, Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybird and Earthworm.
James and the Giant Peach is a great introduction for first-timers to the work of the masterful Dahl. A theatrical treat for children and adults alike.
