A chance to watch the 5-star critically acclaimed and Olivier Award winning play recorded live from London's West End and starring John Lithgow. It’s the summer of 1983 and The Witches is about to hit the shelves. But the outcry at Roald Dahl's recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation. Inspired by real events, this new play explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.
