'Giant,' Starring John Lithgow As Roald Dahl, Will Move To Broadway

Giant, a play about Roald Dahl and antisemitism, will transfer to Broadway this spring.

The play, starring John Lithgow , transfers to Broadway after an Olivier Award-winning run on the West End at the Royal Court Theatre. Lithgow, who won an Olivier for his performance as Dahl, will transfer with the production.

The play follows the true story of Dahl writing a book review in a right-leaning magazine that has been criticized for being antisemitic. The review comes out in 1983 just as The Witches nears publication and a lunch is convened with his ex-mistress, new girlfriend and his British book publisher and sales director at his American publisher, who push him to make an apology.
