The Terrible Infants

Roald Dahl meets Tim Burton in this hugely theatrical, scary, funny, sad, silly, puppetry-packed, dark, delicious, musical, magical piece of performance. Meet Tumb, the boy who eats his mum, Thingummyboy, with a face even his mother forgets, Little Linena, the material girl, Manky Mingus and of course little Tilly and her terrible tail. The Terrible Infants is a highly sensory theatrical feast suitable for big kids and small grown-ups; featuring the voice of Dame Judi Dench.

Deliciously dark and very twisted... Like giving your inner child an enormous sack of sweets. ***** Metro Age

OPINION
These enthralling tales have captivated people of all ages at the Edinburgh Festival, including me. Rising stars Oliver Lansley and Sam Wyer have assembled a great cast who are brilliant actors, musicians and all round entertainers, to create a wonderful world of theatrical magic.
