James & the Giant Peach

1 December 2023–10 December 2023

A Bear Pit Theatre Company Production

@ The Bear Pit Theatre - Stratford-upon-Avon

Synopsis

James lives with his mean Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, they make his life miserable. Until …. one day, he meets a mystical man who gives him the most magical beans. James’ world soon becomes very peculiar as he finds himself in a giant peach having wonderful adventures with an amazing group of giant insects.

This Roald Dahl classic is packed full of humour and ridiculousness for all ages. Prepare to be taken on a journey of crazy characters, creative costumes and colourful storytelling.

Returning to the Bear Pit following the sell out success of The Twits in 2022 and repeated performances earlier this year, Emily, show Director, gives an insight to what she has in store …

“Peach promises to be a spectacular feast for your senses. Expect organised chaos, revolting aunts, fantastical costumes and a collaboration of wonderful local talent. And… a gigantic peach!”
