Based on Roald Dahl’s dark short stories for adults the renowned Roald Dahl’s Twisted Tales are adapted for stage for the first time by The League Of Gentlemen’s Jeremy Dyson, co-writer of the Lyric Hammersmith’s smash hit Ghost Stories.

Roald Dahl’s Twisted Tales writer and master of the macabre Dyson has won numerous awards as the co-writer of the hilariously bleak The League Of Gentlemen, including a Perrier Award, BAFTA Award for Best Comedy and the Golden Rose of Montreux. The stage show he co-penned, A Local Show For Local People, was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award in 2002.

Roald Dahl’s Twisted Tales is directed by Polly Findlay, winner of the JMK Trust’s young theatre director award in 2007 and recipient of the 2006/7 Bulldog Princeps Bursary at the National Theatre. Findlay’s other credits include Caryl Churchill’s Light Shining In Buckinghamshire (Arcola theatre), Eigengrau (Bush theatre), Thyestes (Arcola theatre) and Romeo And Juliet (Battersea Arts Centre).
