The
Octagon's award-winning productions of Roald
Dahl's work return with the beloved tale of
Danny the Champion of the World.
This
new adaptation has all the classic elements
of a Dahl favourite: overbearing adults, persecuted
animals and the child who triumphs against the
odds.
Danny
the Champion of the World is a story
of danger and daring, excitement and invention:
Danny has the most marvellous father a boy could
wish for. But one day Danny wakes up in the
night to find his dad has disappeared. Danny
knows his dad is keeping a secret, and demands
to be told the truth. Together they hatch a
cunning plan.....
