Theatre group Les Enfants Terribles will be staging a ten year anniversary production of The Terrible Infants at Wilton’s Music Hall in London this autumn.
The show will run from 27th September until 28th October and feature new material including puppetry and live music.
The Terrible Infants is described as a ‘hugely theatrical, musical and magical’ production that is a collection of twisted short stories by Oliver Lansley and Sam Wyer, which recall both Roald Dahl and Tim Burton.
Groups can expect something a little dark and a little strange as the show revolves round Tumb, a boy who eats his mum; Thingummyboy, with a face even his mother forgets; little Linena, the material girl; manky Mingus; and little Tilly and her terrible tale.
The show will also feature recorded narration by Dame Judi Dench.
The Terrible Infants originally debuted in 2007 before multiple appearances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and nationwide tours.
The production received numerous awards when it debuted a decade ago including Best Entertainment and Outstanding Theatre in the Fringe Report in 2008, as well as Outstanding Artistic Merit from Argus Angel Award.
