Roald Dahl's The Twits (NHB Modern Plays)

by Roald Dahl, Enda Walsh

Overview

Mr and Mrs Twit are not very nice. In fact they’re extremely nasty. They’re nasty to each other, and they’re VILE to everyone else.

They hold a family of monkeys hostage in a cage and force them to stand on their heads. ALL THE TIME.

We told you they weren’t very nice. Can the monkeys find a way to show those vicious Twits what for?

Mischievously adapted from Roald Dahl’s story, acclaimed playwright Enda Walsh turns The Twits upside down and brings this revolting revolution to the stage.

First performed at the Royal Court Theatre in April 2015.

About the Author

Roald Dahl was born in Cardiff in 1916 and at the age of twenty-three joined the RAF. He began writing after a plane crash in which he suffered serious injuries. Sitting in a hut at the bottom of his garden – surrounded by odd bits and pieces such as a suitcase full of logs (which he used as a footrest), his own hipbone (which he’d had replaced) and a heavy ball of metal foil (made from years’ worth of chocolate wrappers) – Roald Dahl wrote classics such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, Matilda and lots more! Roald Dahl Day is celebrated on 13 September every year, on what would have been his birthday. His many books remain as popular as ever. To discover more visit www.roalddahl.com.
