Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl, adapted for the stage by David Wood

For our 2010 Christmas show the Brewery team is collaborating with the innovative, Liverpool-based, Spike Theatre on a brand new co-production of this classic children's book.

Danny and his father live in a caravan on their little patch of land, the only land for miles around not owned by Victor Hazell. When Hazell tries to force Danny and his father to sell up, they wish they could teach him a lesson but how can two such poor people ever get the better of the most powerful man in the area? It seems like a silly dream - until Danny thinks up a plan that just might work...
 
Danny lives in a caravan with his Dad, the most marvellous and exciting Dad any boy ever had. But his father has a secret! When night comes, he poaches pheasants from Hazell’s Wood. Mr Hazell, the biggest landowner in the district, wants to evict them both and the battle is quickly on to save their home. But how can one little boy defeat a rich and powerful landowner? Danny has a plan – and soon he and his Dad are caught up in a thrilling and remarkable adventure!
 
By no means just for kids, this is a warm and winning piece of theatre which will delight all members of the family - adults & children alike!
