#Main Info
You won’t believe your (glass) eyes!
Roald Dahl’s gruesome twosome The Twits returns in 2025 to delight and disgust, in equal measure.
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 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.
