The Witches

PORTAL PLAYERS DRAMATIC SOCIETY PROUDLY PRESENTS:

Portal Players opens its 2016-17 season with this classic family friendly Roald Dahl story, adapted by David Woods. Directed by Naomi Boutwell and produced by Brent Ronning.

This faithful adaptation of Roald Dahl's story describes how Boy and his Grandmother are up against the Grand High Witch and her followers, who are holding a Conference in an English seaside hotel.

The Witches are nothing like the ones who wear pointed hats and fly on broomsticks --they look very much like ordinary women, which helps their deception.

"While the kids will be thrilled by the dazzling illusions and the complex puppetry, their parents will be no less engaged by the sly humor that lurks within this ostensibly frivolous confection." - What's On

"David Woods adaptation is unmissable for kids and adults alike."
- Glasgow Evening Times

"This stylish adaptation of Roald Dahls THE WITCHES is so utterly beguiling, it carries you along on a glorious journey of fiendish fantasy. THE WITCHES is top drawer family entertainment chilling but thrilling!"
- Bournemouth Evening Echo
