Reviews
-
A combination of top playwright David Wood and top children's writer Roald Dahl can't fail.
Western Daily Press
-
Any child not delighted by THE BFG must have a head filled with squashed flies and deserves to be fed for a year on disgustatious snozzcumbers.
The Guardian
-
As the most successful children's playwriter of this century, David Wood is trying through entertainment to teach the younger generation to preserve the world they live in and opt for conservation rather than commercial gain … this play provides an invaluable guideline to the young about the importance of the environment.
