Matilda –As Les Mis marches into its 25th year in the West End, the [RSC] are hoping for another classic to be born in the shape of Roald Dahl’s children’s novel, Matilda. Loved by generations of readers young and old, the book has been adapted by Dennis Kelly with songs by composer and comedian Tim Minchin, in this hilarious new version from the Royal Shakespeare Company.
