The Scandal of Roald Dahl
The story transports us to the summer of 1983. Famous English author Roald Dahl is reviewing the proofs of his latest book. However, a massive scandal has erupted over an anti-Semitic article he recently published. At his country house, Dahl finds himself surrounded by family and frantic publishers. Consequently, he must make a career-defining choice: apologize publicly or defend his stance. This decision puts his global fame and legacy at severe risk.
A Multidimensional Portrait
Playwright Mark Rosenblatt based this work on true events. It offers a complex, multifaceted portrait of a deeply charismatic yet controversial artist. The production stars the legendary Josep Maria Pou in the lead role of Roald Dahl.
