About

Step into the magical world of the Giant's garden. It's full of music, beauty, bird song and stories!
But the Giant is cross. He returns to find children – children! – playing happily in his beautiful orchard.

Every day after school, they laugh and play games under the blossom trees. So he puts up a big wall to put a stop to all the fun. Then winter seizes the garden in its icy fingers…

How will summer ever come back?

Through storytelling, interactive games, live music, and puppetry, Riding Lights Theatre Company brings you The Selfish Giant – a wonderful play for family audiences and inspirational tale of love and generosity – adapted from the story by Oscar Wilde.
