Roald Dahl’s The Twits

25th September – 16th October

Tim Bray Theatre Company brings to the stage a delicious Roald Dahl creation!

Mr. and Mrs. Twit are nasty and love playing tricks on each other. The things they get up to are a sight to behold! Would you like a glass eyeball in your drink? How about some worms in your spaghetti? Who doesn’t like a slimy frog in their bed? Their antics will have you gasping in amusement and giggling along.

But when Mr. Twit turns his nasty attention to creating the World’s First Upside-Down Monkey Circus with Muggle-Wump the monkey, things get turned upside down and the Twits get a dose of their own nasty ways.
