Inside pages

"A fabulous performance"
Producer BBC TV's Blue Peter

"A literally spectacular show"
Birmingham Post

Mr. and Mrs. Twit were a very happy couple. But seldom happy at the same time. For what really made them happy was playing nasty tricks on one another. The best word to describe them was disgusting... This spectacular production combines circus and aerial skills, trickery and physical theatre to create a magical and mesmerising tale with an ingenious twist from the master of children's story-telling. Roald Dahl's book, still in the top ten best loved titles, has been adapted by David Wood, one of today's most highly regarded children's writers. Children aged five and over will be captivated by this outstanding production.

Coventry Evening Telegraph

The Stage

"David Wood's excellent stage adaptation of Roald Dahl's irresistibly revolting tale"
Guardian

"Roald Dahl's dark and funny tale ... a hit"
