My Mummy says I’m a miracle!

What a treat! ‘Matilda – The Musical’ was absolutely brilliant and the Prep. School were lucky enough to enjoy this spectacular performance. Tim Minchin’s genius captures Dahl’s dark humour and touches of anarchy fantastically. We were riveted by the wonderful story telling, talented acting and fantastic music. The nastiness of Crunchem (children-are-maggots) Hall and the fearsome Miss Trunchbull was brilliantly depicted as was the comfort and solace one finds in books, along with the ability to travel in the world of our imagination. Given that this is anti-bullying week, Matilda deftly displays how a little rebellion and protest can defeat the bullies (along with a touch of telekinetic powers!) It was, in short, utterly exhilarating and we had a very good (who can forget that burp) time!
