Enjoy a world of magic when Roald Dahl's The Witches arrives in town...

The children's show The Witches is based on classic story by Roald Dahl and reveals the whole ghastly truth about these horrible creatures.

It's the story of what happens when one brave boy gets tangled up with a whole conference load of them, meeting at a seaside hotel disguised as members of the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

The audience is transported from a rustic cottage in Norway, to the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth. There are wonderful mouse's-eye views of the plush staircases and rooms - and some shocking sights as people disappear into thin air on stage, or turn into mice before the audiences eyes.

The Witches is adapted from the book by Roald Dahl by David Wood.

Please Note: This production of The Witches is most suitable for children aged seven plus.

"A fine production with a good hiss and boo rating. Can be warmly recommended" The Daily Telegraph

"A cracking adaptation" The Guardian
