WIN! A Family Ticket to see The BFG at Playhouse Whitley Bay

Roald Dahl’s The BFG arrives at the Playhouse Whitley Bay from 6 to 10 October 2009 and we have a family ticket to give away!

The story of the Big Friendly Giant and his unlikely friendship with an orphaned girl named Sophie is brought to life in this stage adaptation. Dahl has enchanted young minds for more than twenty five years with stories that fire the imagination, bring dreams to life and release squeals of both terror and delight. This brand new stage show promises to mix up heart-pounding adventures with life -long friendships, jumbly words and even some whizzpopping in front of the Queen!

The prize is a family ticket for two adults and two children for one of the three performances on Saturday 10 October (you can choose from either 11am, 2pm or 6pm) at the Playhouse Whitley Bay.

If you and your family would like to see this exciting new show, just answer this question:

What is the name of the orphaned girl the BFG befriends?

Email your answer to northeast@whatsonstage.com

Please also include your full name, address and contact telephone number and which performance on Saturday 10 October you wish to attend if you win the competition.

The closing date for entries is midnight on Tuesday 6 October. The winner will be contacted shortly thereafter by email. Any entries after this time will not be entered into the draw.

Good Luck!
