The Dailes Theater's production 'The Giant' features a script by British playwright Rozenblat, characterized by a heavy reliance on dialogue and minimal physical drama. This style requires outstanding actors who can engage the audience through words alone. The central character, portrayed by guest actor Ģirts Krūmiņš, is the writer Roald Dahl, who finds himself in hot water due to his scandalous public remarks that threaten his literary career and potentially jeopardize an award he is in contention for.

Dahl's nonchalant attitude towards the fallout from his statements reflects a lifetime of being contrarian and difficult to engage with, challenging the audience to ponder multiple dilemmas. The performance raises questions regarding Dahl's integrity, as it delves into whether his expressed views are indeed anti-Semitic and whether those urging him to apologize are acting rightly. Complementing the lead role are actors Gints Grāvelis, Jana Herbsta, Kristīne Nevarauska, and Madara Viļčuka, with notable performances also by Juris Bartkevičs and guest actor Jakovs Rafalsons in significant supporting roles.

As the story unfolds on stage, it captures the complex dynamics between an artist's personal beliefs and the societal reactions they provoke, making for a thought-provoking experience that resonates with themes relevant to discussions about public figures and accountability in today's world. This performance invites audiences to reflect on the consequences of words and the nature of artistic expression in the face of controversy.
