Poor James Henry Trotter. His parents just died tragically (or is it hilariously?) in a rhinoceros accident, and now he must live with his tyrannical aunts. But in A.D. Players’ production of James and the Giant Peach, adapted from a novel by Roald Dahl (author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), James is about to have some (magical) luck. He accidentally grows a gigantic peach, befriends its insect inhabitants and rolls away from his horrible home life once and for all. Gorge yourself on the delicious story at 11 a.m. today and Thursday, May 25.
