They say don't meet your heroes, and the new-to-Broadway stage play starring Aya Cash (You're the Worst, The Boys) shows why.

Written by Mark Rosenblatt, Giant stars John Lithgow as Roald Dahl. The British children's book author is best known for such beloved stories as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda. This play, however, addresses how the reception of that work shifts as Dahl expresses antisemitism in other published works and interviews in 1983. When his caustic comments cause public outcry, it's up to an American publisher named Jessie Stone (Cash) to manage this bullying "giant" so the scandal won't hurt the sales of his next book, The Witches. As big an admirer as Jessie is of his work, she is shocked by Dahl's viciousness and politics. And Cash proves a compelling, resilient scene partner to a rampaging Lithgow.

Cash came by the Say More studio to talk about Giant, which made the leap from the West End to Broadway this spring. The play deals not only with the specifics of Dahl but also with broader questions about art versus the artist, cancel culture, and more. With Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko, Cash spoke about how she struggles with such questions in her own life. In the full interview, on YouTube, she also talks about what drives her as an actor, her work on Giant and The Boys, and the silliest bit of playing a superhero on the upcoming prequel spinoff series Vought Rising, in which she'll reprise the role of Stormfront.

Giant is now on Broadway.

The Boys Season 5 is now on Prime Video, with a new episode every Wednesday.

Vought Rising's release is currently TBD.
