Lithgow great. Dahl not so much.
"I bought tickets for Giant knowing next to nothing about it, other than that it starred the always-superb John Lithgow and was about Roald Dahl. Although I know most of Dahl's books, I had no idea this play was largely about his anti-Israel stance, which, it turns out, was anti-semitism. An excellent exploration of those nuances, which is highly relevant today. Giant is intense and thought provoking and the entire cast was excellent. Strong recommendation for people who enjoy dramas that provoke conversation."

A Must See!
"Riveting, timely, powerful and speaks directly to the times we are living through. Do we have to like or admire an artist to partake in the art they produce? A lot of powerful questions raised in this masterpiece! "

Powerful acting
"This is a must-see, particularly in these troubled times of hidden racism and antisemitism coming to the surface. The cast is exceptionally strong, with powerful performances by all. Each actor has their moment of taking over the stage, and John Lithgow, through Dahl, controls it all. Emotions shift from lightness to heaviness. "
