#Main Info
Adapted for the stage by Shake & Stir Theatre Co
Roald Dahl’s gruesome twosome The Twits return to QPAC this December after a sold out season in April to delight and disgust, in equal measure.
Mr and Mrs Twit are the nastiest couple you could ever hope (not) to meet. Both are on a quest to be meaner than the other – but, is there someone out there who can out-twit the Twits? Full of trickery and wickedly-funny pranks, Dahl’s adored classic encourages us to treat others with love and care and proves that if you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams.
Packed with Dahlicious mischief, hilarious mayhem and big belly laughs, The Twits is an unmissable summer school holiday fun for all ages, from Shake & Stir Theatre Co the team behind the sold out seasons of Fantastic Mr Fox and George’s Marvellous Medicine.
You’ve read the book – it’s time to experience this family classic from the wacky mind of the world’s No. 1 Storyteller live on stage.
You won’t believe your (glass) eyes.

#Reviews
My six-year-old rates The Twits as the best show she saw last year – and it was in my top five, too. Shake & Stir are masters at keeping younger audiences entertained.
