Review:
Sharply satirical, beautifully bizarre and extravagantly entertaining, The Twits is also unashamedly romantic... Enda Walsh adapts Dahl's The Twits with a vigour and theatrical imagination all his very own. --Arts Desk
Deviously delightful, huge fun...marvellous in their malevolent monstrosity. Powerfully political, adventurously adapted, challenging for children this isn't family theatre as you know it and I kinda like it. In fact I really liked it. --There Ought To Be Clowns
This mischievous, glorious production... A brilliant show for children and a solid play for adults... A certain hit, with West End transfer written in spit and glue all over it. Hurrah! --Libby Purves: TheatreCat.com
Bold, political, anarchic work that resists easy consumption and digestion... It tests patience, but it tests convention too... clever, strange and beautifully painted work that asks for at least as much as it gives. --Exeunt Magazine
