ROALD DAHL’S CLASSIC TALE THE TWITS WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIFE AT THE BROOKSIDE THEATRE THIS JUNE
Roald Dahl’s tale of gruesome twosome The Twits will be brought to life on stage at Romford’s Brookside Theatre in a visually-spectacular, delightfully-disgusting, revoltingly funny production for the whole family from 18 - 22 June.
Packed with ‘Dahlicious’ mischief, hilarious mayhem and big belly laughs, The Twits is unmissable fun for all ages, from the award-winning team behind ‘Charlie & The Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Matilda Jr,’.
The show’s co-director, Harri Sepple said the company was relishing the opportunity to play and be a bit wicked with this production. “This is the third Roald Dahl adaptation I have had the privilege to direct, and I could not be more excited – it was one of the first Dahl books I ever read,” she said. “Embracing that unbridled sense of abandonment and joy that Dahl’s words give will be a much-needed distraction, especially given the last few years. It is more important now than ever to take some time to laugh.”
“The story has the trademark grit, wit and grotesque deliciousness readers have come to expect from Dahl. Front and centre are two of his most hilarious meanies – Mr and Mrs Twit. At the same time, the beating heart of the story is the importance of being nice to one another and that if you have friendship and family and work together, anything can be accomplished.” “It’s a passion for to use Dahl’s books as inspiration for reimagined theatre works for audiences of every age to enjoy.”
Roald Dahl’s gruesome twosome The Twits are ready to delight and disgust, in equal measure. Mr and Mrs Twit are the nastiest couple you could ever hope (not) to meet. Both are on a quest to be meaner than the other – but is there someone out there who can out-twit the Twits? Full of trickery and wickedly-funny pranks, Dahl’s adored classic encourages us to treat others with love and care and proves that if you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams. Families who have read the book and even those that haven’t will enjoy this family classic from the wacky mind of the world’s No.1 storyteller live on stage.
The Twits runs from Wed 18th through until Sun 22nd June 2025 and tickets are available from www.brooksidetheatre.com.
