About The Show
Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois
This amazing adventure of James Henry Trotter and his insect friends will fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl’s story comes hilariously to life in this delightful dramatization that reveals the wickedness of some, the goodness of others, and the indecision encountered by many when they are faced with crises.
