Overview
This 7-book paperback collection turns seven of Roald Dahl's most-loved stories into ready-to-perform stage scripts, adapted by acclaimed children's playwright David Wood. From the gentle giant of The BFG to the mischievous foxes of Fantastic Mr Fox, each script keeps Dahl's original wit and warmth while adding simple staging notes, making the set an ideal resource for classrooms, drama clubs, and family read-alouds looking for a fresh way to enjoy these timeless tales.
About the Books
Each play is a faithful, stage-ready adaptation of a Roald Dahl classic, designed for performance with minimal props or experience. The BFG follows Sophie and the Big Friendly Giant as they outwit the child-eating giants of Giant Country. The Twits brings the gruesomely funny Mr and Mrs Twit to life alongside the Muggle-Wump monkeys. The Witches dramatises the chilling, tender story of a boy and his grandmother against a coven of child-hating witches. Danny the Champion of the World, also adapted by David Wood, celebrates a loving father-son poaching adventure with roles suited to smaller casts. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory offers a large-cast favourite bursting with Golden Ticket excitement and Oompa-Loompa songs. Fantastic Mr Fox is a fast, witty script about cunning and survival on the farm, while James and the Giant Peach turns a boy's extraordinary journey inside a giant peach into an imaginative ensemble piece. Each script preserves Dahl's distinctive humour while offering practical staging, prop, and costume guidance so teachers and parents can bring these stories to life with confidence.
