Big Fish

Music & Lyrics
​by Andrew Lippa
Book by John August
Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the Columbia Motion Picture written by John August

Performance Dates: Wednesday 6 – Saturday 9 March 2019
Performance Venue: Stockwell Playhouse

Based on the movie and novel by the same name, Big Fish introduces audiences to Edward Bloom’s world of giants, witches, and other larger-than-life characters, touching the hearts of the young and old alike. 

Big Fish tells the tale of Edward Bloom, a man with a big heart and an even bigger imagination. Edward’s son, Will, has grown up on his father’s stories of kissing a mermaid, befriending a giant and meeting Will’s mother, Sandra, while being shot out of a cannon at a circus. However, now a grown man recently married and expecting a child with his wife, Josephine, Will has grown out of such children’s tales. As Will refuses to further entertain these stories he finds himself drifting farther and farther away from his father. Is it possible for Will and Edward to re strengthen their relationship before Edward’s life is tragically cut short?

Big Fish reels people of all ages in through the magic of storytelling as Edward’s tales come to life on stage. Audiences can expect a magical evening full of fantastical characters, a stunning set and a good old dose of beautiful scoring.
