The Selfish Giant

The Giant is angry. He returns from Cornwall to find children – children! - playing happily in his beautiful garden!

Every day after school, they come and run about, laughing and playing games under the blossom on his peach trees, listening to the delightful songs of the birds! So he puts up a big wall and an even bigger KEEP OUT notice to put a stop to all that. Then winter seizes the garden in its icy fingers…


Will this grip ever be broken?


Through vivid, interactive story-telling, original music, puppetry and humour, Riding Lights Theatre Company brings you this brilliant story of transformation. Perfect for families. No one, not even the story-tellers themselves, can be left unaffected by this inspiring tale of love and generosity.
