Adapted from Roald Dahls’s book by David Wood, the theatrical production of James and the Giant Peach provides the thrill of immediacy for young audiences.
“There’s the element of audience participation and direct address,” said director Adrianne Moore. “James and the fabulous insects speak directly to children in the audience.”
