been successfully transformed into a play by David Wood, and under Sue Reddish’s imagi­


native direction, the cast and designers cope well with the essential problem of how to con­


vey the difference in size between the giants and the child heroine, Sophie. After the opening scene where Sophie


(Rebekah Manning) wakes in the middle of the night and catches sight of the BFG (Carl Cieka), she is cleverly transformed into a pup­ pet. In the second act, set in the luxuriously red


bedroom of the Queen of England (Julie West- wood), Sophie is normal size and an impressive giant puppet assumes the role of the BFG. My two young companions, aged nine and


six, liked the strange voices of the evil giants and the Queen of England throwing all her pil­ lows out of bed and being scolded by her maid (Zoe Lambert). So clearly this is a thoroughly entertaining


production for younger children, just as Roald Dahl would have wished.
