John Lithgow is cast as Roald Dahl in the play 'Giant', premiering at London's Royal Court Theatre in September.

The play, directed by Nicholas Hytner, addresses the antisemitism in Dahl's legacy and examines the impact of his work.

'Giant' is part of the Royal Court's 2024 season, which includes new adaptations and original scripts focusing on diverse themes.

The season highlights issues like immigration, urban legends, and personal healing, featuring works from both new and established playwrights.

The Royal Court will collaborate with the London international festival of theatre in a unique co-production involving unrehearsed performances.
