classic is fun entertainment for all the family. A vibrant and talented
cast drawn from Next Stage Youth will enthrall their audience with this stylish,
imaginative production.
“Thin curvy claws… a wig …
nasty sores on the head … big nose-holes… no toes… and blue spit”
we can only be in
the world of Dahl’s Witches!
An orphaned Boy,
growing up in Norway with his grandmother, learns from her how to
recognize a witch, but, despite her warnings, within days he is
nearly captured by the Tree House Witch who has smelt him out.
Boy is lucky to escape with his life….but in England he is less
fortunate.
Boy’s Grandmother
is taken ill and in the very hotel were she is convalescing the Witches
of England are having their Annual General Meeting in the presence of
the evil Grand High Witch. Trapped in the ballroom as
the witches come in, with only his two pet mice for company, Boy
overhears the terrible plan the witches have made to get rid of all
children. Terrified Boy hides behind a screen……but one of the
witches sniffs him out! His life to is about to
change forever.
This
rollicking play merges humour, slap-stick, suspense and pathos
in equal measure. Fun and challenging for the actors and delightful
entertainment for all the family an audience needs to be taken on a
high-octaine ride. Who better then than Next StageYouth -
performing in the versatile Mission Theatre Main Auditorium - to deliver
this show?
Come along and
enjoy the ride and as Grandmother says:
Lets hope that where the
witches are concerned there are always people brave enough to foil their
wicked plans!
