The Twits

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.” – Roald Dahl, The Twits.

Being the delightful humans they are, Mr and Mrs Twit spend their days playing nasty tricks on each other. Mrs Twit puts worms in Mr Twit’s spaghetti-yuck! Mr Twit convinces Mrs Twit she has the dreaded shrinks-how mean! Insults are flying left, right and centre and a tag game of revenge and out-trickery is never ending.

Meanwhile, Muggle-Wump, a poor little monkey is held captive by Mr Twit. But! Fate changes for Muggle-Wump with the arrival of Roly-Poly, a glorious bird full of grace and pomposity. Together they devise a plot to secure Muggle-Wump’s freedom and punish the Twits forever.
