Production Synopsis:
Mr. and Mrs. Twit are a horrible, nasty couple who delight in being mean—not just to each other, but to everyone around them. They play cruel tricks, live in a dirty, upside-down house, and spend most of their time thinking up new ways to be awful. But their mean-spirited fun takes a turn when the clever animals they’ve mistreated—especially a family of acrobatic monkeys and a group of cheeky birds—decide they’ve had enough.
This story bursts off the stage with physical comedy, playful chaos, and heartwarming teamwork, as the animals outsmart their tormentors in the most hilarious way possible. It’s Roald Dahl at his wildest, silliest, and most satisfying.
Cast of Characters:
This show includes a range of characters perfect for young performers of all experience levels, including non-speaking and movement-based roles:
Main Roles:
Mr. Twit – A hairy, grumpy man who loves playing mean tricks and eating bird pie. Full of slapstick humor and over-the-top reactions.
Mrs. Twit – Equally nasty and sharp-tongued, with a love for revenge and a cane she’s not afraid to swing.
The Roly-Poly Bird – A colorful, clever bird who helps warn others of the Twits’ traps. Energetic and expressive.
Muggle-Wump – A smart and determined monkey who dreams of freedom. The heart of the monkey family.
Muggle-Wump’s Family – Fellow monkeys who are gymnastic, expressive, and work together to escape the Twits’ cruelty.
Supporting & Ensemble Roles:
The Birds – Tricky, fluttery, and always one step ahead. Often caught in Mr. Twit’s bird traps, but not for long! Great for movement-based or non-speaking performers.
The Monkeys – Muggle-Wump’s family: agile, expressive, and central to the story’s action. Roles include tumbling, climbing, or comic timing.
Narrators – May be divided between several performers. Help tell the story with energy and humor.
Forest Creatures / Extras – Optional roles to enhance staging with movement, sound, and creativity (great for newer or younger participants).
This production is highly physical and full of opportunity for creative expression—whether through movement, facial reactions, comic timing, or quirky voices. It’s perfect for performers who love to play big, silly, and bold!
Join us to be a part of vibrant, community-centered shows that celebrate the joy of live theater in its most authentic form.
