An Introduction to THE SELFISH GIANT

by Tara Haas, dramaturg

Welcome all and thanks for joining me on the 4th WALL. I will be your dramaturg for The Selfish Giant, and will be updating this blog weekly with all kinds of behind the scenes information. The Selfish Giant, an original story by Oscar Wilde, has been adapted for the stage by BYU’s own Teresa Love. As an endearing family show, this production will incorporate many fun and exciting elements, with a large emphasis on puppetry. The designers and production team have been hard at work creating and constructing in their specific areas, and the cast begins rehearsals next week. I am very excited to move into the rehearsal process, and to keep you all informed in the process of creating this wonderful show. Make sure you keep this one on your radar because you do not want to miss it!
