Roald Dahl's The Twits - Softcover
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. Can the monkeys find a way to have their revenge on those vicious Twits?
Following successful adaptations of Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s The Twits now has its own mischievous stage adaptation by the brilliantly inventive playwright Enda Walsh. Dahl’s funniest, stinkiest book is turned upside down, as Walsh best known for adapting the film Once into an internationally acclaimed musical brings this revolting rendition thrillingly to life. Roald Dahl’s The Twits premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in spring 2015.
Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was one of the world’s most inventive, successful and beloved storytellers. His iconic children’s books include The Twits, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, The BFG and Fantastic Mr. Fox, among others. His books are currently available in 58 languages, and have sold over 200 million copies worldwide.
Enda Walsh is an award-winning Irish playwright. His plays include Ballyturk, Room 303, Misterman, Penelope, The New Electric Ballroom, The Walworth Farce, Delirium, Chatroom, The Small Things, Bedbound and Disco Pigs. He won a Tony Award in 2012 for writing the book of the musical Once, which has been produced on Broadway, in the West End, and on a United States national tour.
