The BFG: The Plays

Bring Roald Dahl’s The BFG to life with this book of seven short plays for children adapted by David Wood.

When Sophie is snatched from her bed in the middle of the night by a giant four times as tall as the tallest human, she thinks she is about to be breakfast. But luckily for Sophie, her giant is the only nice jumbly giant in Giant Country: in fact he's the Big Friendly Giant and only eats snozzcumbers.

The BFG is one of Roald Dahl’s best-loved books for children. This book of plays is perfect for groups of children to explore the world of giants, snozzcumbers, and dream bottles through performance, and is a great way of introducing children to acting out a story. With ideas for simple staging, props and costumes, these plays can be produced with the minimum of experience and resources, but will result in the maximum amount of fun.

Some of the plays require just a few key characters, whilst others are best suited to a whole class.
