Useful information:
You won’t believe your (glass) eyes!
Mr and Mrs Twit are the nastiest couple you could ever hope (not) to meet – both on a quest to be meaner than the other – but, who will outwit the Twits? Full of trickery and wickedly-funny pranks, this infamous pair ultimately highlight the need to treat others with love and care and spreading positivity is far more enjoyable.
Packed with Dahlicious mischief, hilarious mayhem and humongous belly laughs, The Twits is unmissable theatre for all ages, from the team that brought us the sold out season of Fantastic Mr Fox, George’s Marvelous Medicine and Revolting Rhymes & Dirty Beasts.
You’ve read the book – now get to the theatre and experience this family classic from the wacky mind of the world’s No. 1 Storyteller live on stage.
