For many, it will be their first time viewing a live theatrical production. We have learned that when teachers discuss the play with their students before and after the production, the experience is more meaningful and long-lasting. Our study guide provides pre and post performance discussion topics, as well as related activity sheets. These are just suggestions… Please feel free to create your own activities and areas for discussion. We hope you and your class enjoy the show! About the Author Roald Dahl (1916 – 1990) was born in Wales to Norwegian parents. In 1939, at the age of 23, he joined the British Royal Air Force and flew fighter biplanes in Africa, and later, Greece. In 1942 he was transferred to the United States, and his first essay was published in The New Yorker. For the first fifteen years of his writing career, he concentrated mostly on short stories for adults (with the exception of The Gremlins, a 1943 picture book adaptation of Dahl’s script written for Walt Disney). It was not until he was a father that he attained his first notable success as an author of children’s literature with James and the Giant Peach, published in the United States in 1961, and in England in 1969.
