Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts, a spectacular new live show combining two of his most famous and best-loved rhyming storybooks, will make its world premiere at La Boite's Roundhouse Theatre these school holidays from 8 to 18 January.
A co-production between La Boite and shake & stir, Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts takes the familiar stories of Cinderella, The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks, and several unsuspecting animals, and transforms them with surprising and hilarious results. Think they all live happily ever after? Think again!
La Boite Artistic Director David Berthold said the new show continues the company's tradition of presenting theatrical works for especially for young people. "Earlier this year La Boite teamed up with shake & stir for some slimy silliness in Out Damn Snot, and we've also had tremendous fun presenting The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child in recent times," Mr Berthold said.Videos
