Giants Have Us in Their Books

A falling angel on a dark starry background

By José Rivera

Director: Karina Gutiérrez

Uncover captivating tales about the mysterious human race. 

We grow up with storybooks detailing the life of Giants and other mythical creatures, but what happens when we become the subject of the fable? Written as if they were told by Giants, the six short fables in Giants Have Us in Their Books harness the simplicity of fairytales as they explore the complex reality of the human experience through magical realism, metaphor, and poetry.

Please be advised that Giants Have Us In Their Books contains mature language and sensitive topics including sexuality, ableism, hate speech and imagery, violence, sexual assault, anti-Semitism, and death. The performance contains a simulated gunshot sound effect. Recommended 13+.

Giants Have Us in Their Books is produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing Inc, NYC  www.broadwayplaypub.com
