Two
terrible twins with a talent for turmoil rule their school with terror and
tyranny. That is, until the arrival of a new head teacher with green scaly
skin, sharp gnarly fangs, and a long spiky tail…
Can
the twins save the school from the child-eating Troll? Can they get Brussels
sprouts in peanut butter taken off the lunch menu? And most importantly, can
naughtiness prevail? Come and find out and be outrageously entertained!

The
colourfully comic show for ages 7+ and their accompanying trolls (or parents)
features actors Sian Reese-Williams (Genesis Walker in Emmerdale) and Abdul Salis (Curtis Cooper on Casualty, Doctor Who, Love Actually, National Theatre
production of War Horse).
Chris
Riddell, who was recently appointed the next Children’s Laureate, drew the
distinctive Troll illustration for the show’s publicity, which has already
sparked the imaginations of young audiences.
