Roald Dahl’s The Witches
Based on the children’s dark fantasy by the well known British writer Roald Dahl, The Witches tells the story of a brave young boy and his Norwegian grandmother as they battle England’s witches.
In a world where child-hating societies of witches secretly exist in every country, the witches are ruled by the extremely vicious and powerful Grand High Witch, who has just arrived in England to organise her worst plot ever!
But an elderly former witch hunter and her young grandson find out about the evil plan and now they must do everything to stop it and defeat the witches.
With dazzling effects and creative puppetry, Hunter Drama will bring this terrifying tale to life once again.
‘Children should never have baths,’ my grandmother said. ‘It’s a dangerous habit.’
