Liverpool Giants: They will bring 'message of hope'

The artistic director of the theatre company behind the Liverpool Giants show has said one character will come with an optimistic message.

Royal de Luxe's Jean-Luc Courcoult said the grandmother giant, who will make her international debut in the city, was in the show "to reassure us and maybe give us a message of hope".

The character, who will feature in the Memories of August 1914 alongside a little girl and a dog, was unveiled by the company in the home town of Nantes in June.
