  • Big Fish Is a Celebration of a Lifetime
    A Note from the Director Big Fish is a celebration of a lifetime. It could be any of us questioning our purpose, wondering if we will leave behind a legacy, or hoping that we have made an impact on the lives of those dearest to us. I know I ask myself this often. This story is a story of faith, love, forgivness, and closure. As we travel through our life’s journey we collect moments, memories, and objects. For Edward Bloom, these things come to life on our stage tongiht. The back wall of our set is a literal fishing net that has been metaphorically dragged through his lifetime. Many of us wonder sometimes what we carry in our nets in terms of joy, sorrow, mistakes and accomplishment. Whatever those things may be, shouldn’t we each take a lesson from Edward and live our life as the hero of our story. ~David Woodrow “Big Fish” BOOK BY JOHN AUGUST MUSIC AND LYRICS BY ANDREW LIPPA Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the Columbia Motion Picture written by John August Originally produced on Broadway by Dan Jinks, Bruce Cohen and Stage Entertainment with Roy Furman, Broadway Across America/Rich Entertainment Group, John Domo, The Nederlander Organization and Edward Walson in association with CJ E&M, Dancing Elephant Productions, Parrothead Productions, Harvey Weinstein/Carole L.

  • Big Fish Questions
    Big Fish Directed by Tim Burton Preparing for the Film 1. What type of relationship would you expect to develop between a father who is often away on business trips and his son who grew up without really knowing him? 2. What are various reactions family members may have when they continually hear a relative tell the same stories, especially if the tales seem exaggerated or fabricated? 3. If you have read the novel Big Fish, what are some challenges the director may have adapting the text to the screen? Reflecting on the Film 1. What is the story that Edward Bloom tells about the day his son William was born? How does Will react to it and why? What is the actual story that Dr. Bennet reveals about Will's birth at the end of the film and what is Dr. Bennet's view of it? 2. What special feature does the Witch have and how does it help to frame Edward Bloom's life story from early childhood through his death. 3. As Edward is leaving Ashton, the Witch whispers to him, "The biggest fish in the river gets that way by never being caught." What thematic influence does that wisdom have for Edward Bloom? For his son Will? 4. What does the word "Spectre" mean? What is the thematic significance of the town's name? 5. When William returns to visit his very ill father, he asks him, “show me who you are.” His father replies, “Your failing, not mine if you can’t see who I am.” Whose perception does the director seem to support and how can we be sure? 6.

Really? The movie is perfect as it is; leave it alone! But I decided to put my judgements aside and read the script. I was surprised by my reaction to it. There were parts that I had no idea how they could be done on stage (how do you shoot a man out of a canon?), but the challenge intrigued me. The script was a 123 page puzzle. When NCCT offered me the job I was thrilled for the opportunity to solve it.
