 Roald
Dahl’s much-loved story follows the vain attempts of
three farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean, one fat, one short,
one lean, to get rid of the fox who regularly steals food
from their farms. They try to kill him by any means possible.
Outwitted at every turn, the farmer’s ploys backfire.
FANTASTIC
MR FOX devises a plan which will ensure full stomachs for
not only his family, but all his friends, who celebrate with
a sumptuous feast.
David
Wood writes : The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, well-known for
working with the local community, asked me to write the play
for a professional company, joined by a large community company
of all ages. This proved to be not only a tremendous spectacle,
with more than sixty people on stage, but also a true celebration
of community life, echoing Dahl’s sentiments in the
story.

“It
was going to take someone as clever as the cunning fox
himself to bring my favourite childhood book to life.
And David Wood, who masterfully adapted Roald Dahl’s
THE TWITS, didn’t let me down. This is a classic
tale of goodies and baddies – of Mr. Fox trying
to outwit the mean and repulsive farmers Boggis, Bunce
and Bean … this is a fantastic show to be enjoyed
by kids of all ages.” Coventry Evening Telegraph
“Another
excellent adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s
classic by David Wood … designed to capture fertile
imaginations within its appealing storyline and simple
language, no wonder it is a hit.” The Stage
“…
a packed audience sat enthralled, entertained and sometimes
scared… not a dry eye in the house as the audience
collapsed in hysterics at the hen-grabbing scene.”
