A new "razztwizzling" adaption of Roald Dahl’s classic children's book The Twits is coming to Lismore.
Spare Parts Puppet Theatre’s director, Michael Barlow, said The Twits was a classic twisted Dahl comedy about a pair of horrible bullies getting their just desserts in the end.
NORPA is presenting the show at the Lismore City Hall in partnership with the Macadamia Castle on August 20.
The Macadamia Castle will have a special visitor for kids to meet prior to the performance at NORPA and a pop up diner will be serving delicious food from 5pm.
“Mr and Mrs Twit are terrible people but very funny characters and it’s so satisfying seeing Muggle-Wump and the Roly-Poly Bird outwit them,” Barlow said.
“Roald Dahl has a special gift for making fun of adults who treat children unfairly and our heroes can only win by breaking the rules and playing a few tricks of their own.
"As laugh-out-loud entertaining as The Twits is, it is a great show for encouraging us all to think about how we treat each other.”
Spare Parts Puppet Theatre is one of the longest running theatre companies in Western Australia and is Australia’s flagship puppetry company. Its extensive annual program includes four metropolitan performance seasons, industry training and puppetry workshops, and an extensive touring program across regional WA and the nation.
Spare Parts Puppet Theatre's production of The Twits is on at Lismore City Hall on August 20 from 6pm suitable for ages five and up. More info: www.norpa.org.au
