The Birmingham Stage Company was proud to present a brand new production of JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH by Roald Dahl adapted by David Wood.
James lives with Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, the most revolting Aunts in England. They make him work and slave and never let him play with other children. Then one day he meets a mystical old man who gives him a bag that contains the strongest magic the world has ever known. When James accidentally spills the bag near an old peach tree, the most incredible things start to happen – and James embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with the most amazing group of characters you could ever meet!
The Birmingham Stage Company has produced more productions of Roald Dahl than any other company in the world and were delighted to bring JAMES back to life!
