Based on the story by Jonathan Swift, this performance took children through an interactive multi-arts journey which placed mathematics at the centre of the participatory drama experience.

Before the play began the children were placed in role as fellow Lilliputians, receiving a postcard from the King's kitchen asking for their help. As they entered the hall they found themselves transported into the world of Gulliver where they listened to the story of how the giant came to be living in the town and were invited to solve problems about how to look after him - how do you fetch a giant drink when the containers you have are only tiny? How many sheep does a giant need for dinner? How can you keep a giant dry? And how do you stop him from stepping on everyone!

Included in the project, each school received a second visit, one week later, where one of MakeBelieve Arts experienced workshop leaders spent time with the children and teacher to further develop the ideas arising from the play. Schools also receive a resource pack detailing potential follow up work where the themes of the play could be explored in greater depth.
