Next Stage Youth Theatre Company

Roald Dahl's spell-binding story: The Witches is brought to life in this adaptation by David Wood, performed by the talented members of Next Stage Youth Theatre Company.

Orphaned and staying in Bournemouth's Hotel Magnificent with his convalescing Grandmother, Boy finds himself surrounded by real, terrifying witches - who are gathering at the hotel for their Annual General Meeting! Trapped in the ballroom just as the meeting begins, Boy overhears the Grand High Witches evil plan: "Every single child in England will be rubbed out, squashed, squirted, squittered and frittered before I come here again". But before Boy can escape, he is sniffed out by a witch, and his life changes for ever.

This rollicking play merges humour, slap-stick, suspense and pathos in equal measure. Fun and challenging for the actors and delightful entertainment, this production will prove to be the perfect pre-Christmas treat.
