PDF Productions Present Roald Dahl's DANNY THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD adapted for the stage by David Wood
Illyria is now one of the country’s foremost theatrical interpreters of Roald Dahl’s work. In their 25th anniversary, which also marks the centenary of Dahl's birth, they have secured the rights to perform their 5th Dahl title.
Danny and his devoted father live in a caravan and operate the village’s local petrol station and garage. When Danny turns nine he is devastated to find out about his father’s secret passion for pheasant-poaching in the estate of the nasty, greedy Victor Hazell, the local wealthy landowner. One night, Danny awakes to find his father has not returned from a night of poaching. Fearing that his father may be in danger, Danny sets off to rescue him. Soon, with a little help from the village, Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible and exciting plot ever attempted against Victor Hazell.
Illyria is now based permanently in Cornwall, but each summer continues to tour the length and breadth of the UK and beyond. This time they’re back with a funny and heart-warming story perfectly suited to the open-air.
