Roll up! Roll up! The exciting and extraordinary tale of The Twits is set for Teatru Manoel this Christmas. The mischievous stage adaptation of Roald Dahl’s much-loved children’s book is coming to Teatru Manoel for the first time ever from 26-30 December, in a show produced by Teatru Manoel, directed by Ian Moore and created by Masquerade Malta. Recently featured in a Top 100 poll of all-time favourite books, Dahl’s raucous tale of mayhem and mercy has enchanted generations. The Twits follows the deeply unpleasant Mr and Mrs Twit as they hold the Muggle-Wumps – a family of monkeys – hostage in a cage and make them stand on their heads. Can the clever Muggle-Wumps and the magnificent Roly-Poly bird find a way to teach the vicious Twits a lesson in how to be nice?Set in circus-style, this childhood favourite promises pure slapstick family fun in a wonderfully wild production packed with live music, dance and drama.
