Think back to your childhood: Trees were houses, the garden a jungle, and your grandfather’s walking stick a magic wand. The giant’s Garden is an adventure experience that teaches one that goodness is an everlasting virtue. The play was inspired by Oscar Wilde’s short story The Selfish Giant. Mister Giant is so possessed by his garden that his priorities fall by the wayside. Fortunately his new friends, the fairies, teach him about love, singing and friendship – the most important compost to make his garden grow. But the witches and trolls are not impressed by this new turn of events.

Colourful characters, a wonder-world and magic music make this production a deliciously comic, but also moving experience. 

A definite must see and even if it is generally targeted at children both young an old will enjoy it. This production was a box-office hit at the Aardklop Festival 2010 held in Potchefstroom.
