THE world's most revolting couple, Mr and Mrs Twit, will be rampaging into Birmingham for a week of performances.

The Roald Dahl creations will perform in a spectacular production combining circus and aerial skills, trickery and physical theatre to create a magical and mesmerising tale with an ingenious twist.

Mr and Mrs Twit are only ever happy when they are playing tricks on each other and their disgusting appearance is sure to turn the stomachs of the audience.

Coventry's Belgrade Theatre's production, which comes straight from a London Christmas season to Birmingham, has been adapted for the stage by children's writer David Wood.

Although it is now more than a decade since Dahl's death, he is still one of the most popular children's authors in the world and The Twits was recently voted one of the country's 100 best reads.

Tickets for the show, which runs from Tuesday, January 20 to Saturday, January, 24 are priced from £7.50 to £13.50 and are available from the hotline on 0870 607 7544.
