Roald Dahl’s ‘The BFG’ will become a stage spectacular with flying giants by the UK's Royal Shakespeare Company, Deadline's Baz Bamigboye writes exclusively.

Macbeth, William Shakespeare’s iconic play, is being reimagined as an interactive video game with a neo-noir vibe — and it’s being developed in part by the Royal Shakespeare Company. The game, titled Lili, is a “screen life thriller video game” where you’ll have access to a modern-day Lady Macbeth’s personal devices, according to a press release.

The BFG tells the story of a young orphan named Sophie who befriends a giant and they embark on a mission together to stop other giants from eating children. The show is the first RSC stage adaptation of a Roald Dahl novel since Matilda the Musical in 2010.

Playwright Tom Wells will adapt the story about the Big Friendly Giant who captures an orphan named Sophie and brings her back to Giant Country.

The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced a new collaboration with iNK Stories, a New York based independent game studio and publisher, to create a new game, Lili.
