Premiere! “Matilda” – a children’s performance based on Roald Dahl
Good news for Raganiukė Theatre audiences – we invite you to a brand new children’s premiere!
Based on one of the most famous books by legendary British children’s author Roald Dahl, Matilda is a performance that charms and makes you laugh, while also touching the deepest strings of the heart.
Matilda is an exceptional girl: sensitive, incredibly intelligent, and devouring books one after another from the age of three! Unfortunately, her parents don’t appreciate this at all – they think books are rubbish and see Matilda herself only as a burden.
Things aren’t much better at school – the headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, loves to intimidate children. The only person who supports Matilda is the gentle teacher Miss Honey.
But when Trunchbull falsely accuses Matilda, something special awakens inside the girl. Now she can not only play tricks on her parents, but also stand up to real bullies.
Why is it worth seeing “Matilda”?
An inspiring story about courage, intelligence and justice
The performance encourages children to believe in themselves, stand up for what’s right and not be afraid to be different.
Full of humour, mischief and a touch of magic!
The spirit of Roald Dahl’s writing on stage is witty, unexpected and full of fun.
A classic story for today’s child
Matilda is not only a piece of literary classic, but also very relatable for today’s children who face injustice, misunderstanding or loneliness.
A performance for the whole family
Both children and parents will enjoy it – everyone will find something meaningful to take away from this story.
