JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH Hills Youth Theatre Stirling Community Theatre Comedy -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2016 -- Written By: David Wood Directed By: Judy Sampson and Di Mason After his parents are killed in a terrible accident involving a rhino, orphan James is sent to live with his horribly awful Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. One day, a curious little man appears, thrusting a faintly glowing bag at James and promising that his magic bag of “little green things” will free James from life with his terrible, cruel aunts. But when James drops the bag and the magic is sucked into the ground around an old peach tree, the most incredible thing happens... Aunt Spiker spots it first; a single peach growing high in their peach tree. Growing and growing until it’s as big and fat as Aunt Sponge! All greedy Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker can think of is that the remarkable peach will make them rich. But James knows something else, something stranger than ever this time, is about to happen. With his new family of Old Green Grasshopper, Miss Spider, Ladybird, Earthworm, and Centipede in his enormous juicy dwelling, James embarks on a thrilling, surreal adventure. This is a story of broad fantasy, with the vivid imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delights. Approx.
