That this production of Jocelyn Bioh’s 2023 play is currently staged off-West End feels surprising. Following its multiple Tony \[…\] ## [Giant, Royal Court Theatre (Preview)](https://viewfromthecheapseat.com/2024/09/21/giant-royal-court-theatre-preview/) _2024-09-21 · Shanine Salmon · View from the Cheap Seat_ A world-famous children’s author under threat.
