Oscar Wilde's short story 'The Selfish Giant' is one of the most beautiful and moving tales ever written. It is an everlasting story that connects to people of all cultures. By sharing the experience of the Giant's selfishness, then a moment of realisation and finally his redemption, children and adults alike are reminded of the value of generosity.

The show involves a dozen children who play the villagers and the Giant's wall, whilst the rest of the audieince takes part as chorus singers. Wih beautiful period costumes, an ingenious set and wonderful music from Robert Hyman this production will continue Image Musical Theatre's tradition of providing the very best touring theatre for primary schools.

The first part of the production is a light hearted half hour rehearsal in which the audience is taught the choruses of four songs and ten children are chosen and rehearsed into small parts in the play.  During a break those taking part are costumed and the show, lasting 1 hour, runs seamlessly with everyone taking part.

Set in the vibrant tropical jungle of India and adapted from the original Rudyard Kipling story this production brings to life the journey to maturity of Mowgli the man cub. With loving care from his adopted wolf family and much advice from Bagheera the panther, Mowgli stands firm against the evil manipulation of Shere Khan the tiger. This production with its underlying theme of the importance of the rule of law is full of fascinating characters and has wonderful music from Robert Hyman.
