David Wood’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s James And The Giant Peach returns to Polka theatre to celebrate the venue’s 30th birthday.

One dark night, a mysterious man gives James Trotter an unexpected gift… a bag of glowing, wriggling lights and a promise of magic. When the lights break free, something amazing happens: on the long-dead tree, a single peach begins to grow and grow and grow. Little does James realise that the giant peach will become a magical espcae from his ghastly aunts.

James and his new found insect friends embark on an extraordinary journey that takes them halfway around the world. Along the way there are dangers and excitement, friends and enemies, music and laughter. Will James survive the journey and find the new life he longs for?

James And The Giant Peach is suitable for ages 6-11
