Giant is a sweeping stage adaption of Edna Ferber's novel, chronicling three decades in the lives of a wealthy Texas ranching family as they navigate love, ambition, and the seismic charges brought by the oil boom. Set against the backdrop of a transforming American Southwest, the story follows the marriage of Bick Benedict and Leslie Lynnton, whose differing values spark both passion and conflict. As generations grow, tensions over land, class, and race intertwine with personal dreams, revealing a portrait of a family, and a state, caught between tradition and progress.
