About this event
The Selfish Giant is part of the Children's Theatre strand in the what's-on programme at Nottingham Playhouse.
No one, not even the story-tellers themselves, can be left unaffected by this inspiring tale of love and generosity. The Giant returns from a long journey to find children playing in his beautiful garden, so he puts up a big wall and an even bigger KEEP OUT notice - and then winter seizes the garden in its icy fingers.
