Event Description

Family Film Day in the Festival Theatre – All tickets £1

Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir) is a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind and a vivid imagination – and the worst parents in the world.

While her parents content themselves with trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes, Matilda loves nothing more than to lose herself in the pages of her beloved books.  Where they are loud, selfish and unkind, she is a quiet observer, thinking up small and cheeky acts of rebellion and revenge.

When Matilda meets her inspirational teacher, Miss Honey (Lashana Kynch), she is encouraged and begins conjuring her own fantastical tales.  Matilda is excited to attend Crunchem Hall but is surprised to find that the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull (Emma Thompson).  Along with the kind Miss Honey, the bright lights among the meanness are story-loving librarian, Mrs Phelps (Sindhu Vee) and Matilda’s newfound school friends.

Filled with an overwhelming sense of justice, Matilda dares to take a stand for what is right and teach Trunchbull a lesson she won’t forget.  Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical is an inspirational musical tale of an extraordinary girl who discovers her superpower and summons the remarkable courage, against all odds, to help others change their stories, whilst also taking charge of her own destiny.  Standing up for what’s right, she’s met with miraculous results.
