Details

Based on the autobiographical bestseller by Roald Dahl, in which he recounts the remarkable tales from his childhood. Set in the schools of England and Wales, Boy is both a moving and devilishly funny account of one child's experiences during the 1920s and 1930s. It's clear to see that the larger-than-life characters and situations from Dahl's childhood have provided the inspiration for many of the books for which he has become so popular the world over. Boy also provides a thought-provoking and challenging look at school life during the inter-war period, suitable for all children aged 8 and above. Boy features four actors who switch between roles through the use of masks. The production also uses music and video in the imaginative style that has become distinctive of Polka productions.
