Gargantua by Carl Grose

 

 

Directed by Steve Lennon

When Mr and Mrs Mungus have a baby it isn’t the bouncing blue-eyed boy they were hoping for... after a two-and-a-half year pregnancy, she gives birth to a monster - one with an accelerated growth rate and an insatiable appetite for anything that moves (including joggers). But when sinister military scientists become intent on cloning an army of giant babies from the giant, he breaks his chains and escapes. The world can only watch in horror as he embarks on learning how to walk and rampant destruction. Who will stop this freak of nature? Who will decide his tragic fate? And who, more importantly, will change his nappy?

Rabelais’s enormous novel Gargantua was an inspiration and jumping off point, with the title and the general feeling being drawn from it, rather than Carl’s play being a reworking of it.
