Dahl Introducing the wacky, joyous and fast paced collection of Roald Dahl's work this one man show is sure to delight those who love Dahl and those new to his stories.

Using only Dahl’s words, Anthony Pedley shows how Dahl's early life influenced his writing, how he created his classic books, and where his ideas may have come from.

Dahl found writing a challenge, but discovered that...'the only way to write a book, or a story, that children are going to fall in love with is for it to have certain essential ingredients...a good fast plot, lots of humour, and a mixture of some extremely nasty people, and some nice people.'

Excerpts from all the favourites are here: The BFG, The Witches, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, Fantastic Mr Fox and George's Marvellous Medicine.

Proudly supported by Waterstone's
