What is THE WITCHES about?
This new musical version of Roald Dahl's timeless tale is filled with wit, daring and heart. It features one of the most iconic characters, the Grand High Witch.
Think you know everything about witches? You are wrong. They aren't in pointy hats and on broomsticks - in fact, they're the most dangerous creatures on earth. Now they have come up with their most evil plan yet. The only thing standing in their way is Luke and his Gran. But Luke is only ten and has a dodgy heart. They only have one chance to stop the witches from squalloping every stinking little child in England!
