Early Years and Juniors
James and the Giant Peach
This week, the infant and junior boys enjoyed a visit to the Northern Stage to see the Roald Dahl classic, James and the Giant Peach.
This was a highly original performance and boys delighted in the music, acting, costumes, puppets and of course the giant peach itself which was great fun to throw around the auditorium towards the end of the play.
James Henry Trotter is a very sad and lonely little boy who lives with his horrible aunts. They make him do all the jobs in the house and he isn’t allowed any friends to play with or books to read. One day this all changes when the peach tree in his garden grows a peach that is almost as big as a house! Inside the peach, James meets Old Green Grasshopper and his insect friends who help James escape his cruel, selfish aunts and together they go on a great adventure. What a magical story which the boys enjoyed immensely.
