The Big Friendly Season Three Opener

After a lovely break, thanks for asking, the gang have taken their seats in the stalls once again to bring you the best (and sometimes the less than best) that London theatre has to offer. To kick off the new season, it's a Roald Dahl special as Nick, Nick and Nancy review Giant in the West End, an award-winning play starring John Lithgow as Dahl which looks at the fallout of an antisemitic book review written by the children's author. The play's writer Mark Rosenblatt also talks to Nick Curtis about why he chose this highly charged subject, and what it's been like to win so many awards for his first ever play. And Ewan McGregor returns to the stage for the first time in 17 years in a new play called My Master Builder, based on Ibsen's The Master Builder, by Lila Raicek. He's made his name playing louche Parisian artists, drug addicts and Jedi Knights. How does he fare in his toughest role yet: arrogant architect?
