Event details
The Gruesome Twosome return to schools due to eye-popping demand.
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? Dahl’s best-selling book encourages us to treat others with care and proves that if you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams. This nationally acclaimed adaptation of The Twits guarantees to delight – and disgust.
You won’t believe your (glass) eyes.
