The Witches

By Roald Dahl

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."

— The Sydney Morning Herald
