The Witches
By Roald Dahl
19 June 2014 – 05 July 2014 Beckett Theatre
Based on the stage play by David Wood
Malthouse Theatre, Griffin Theatre Company,
New Adaptation Theatre Co-Production
Having hatched a dastardly scheme to turn all of England’s children into mice, things go awry when a young boy on holiday with his grandmother accidentally overhears the witches’ plans. This production of The Witches is a re-imagination of Roald Dahl's twisted yet endearing story as a family-friendly one-man performance.
"EDMONDS APPEARS TO RELISH FINDING THE VOICES AND PHYSICALITY OF THE BOY NARRATOR, HIS GRANDMOTHER, THE NAUGHTY KID BRUNO, AND A 'HITLERESQUE' GRAND HIGH WITCH."
