Theatergoers will have the opportunity to be wined and dined by Roald Dahl's Mr and Mrs Twit at The Vaults, as part of the centenary celebrations of the children's author.

Based on his book, Dinner at the Twits will see two of Dahl's characters serve up their very own concoctions including Mr Twit's "special brew" or Mrs Twit's "potent punch".

The dishes will be cooked up by self-proclaimed "jelly-mongers and architectural food-smiths" Bompas & Parr, whose previous projects include creating jelly versions of London landmarks and a floating banana grotto at Kew Gardens.

Presented by Les Enfants Terribles and EBP, who were also the team behind Alice's Adventures Underground, it marks the first time one of Dahl's titles has been adapted specifically for adults.

The piece is produced by Emma Brünjes, James Seager and Oliver Lansley with Creature of London, directed by Emma Earle, written by Oliver Lansley and Anthony Spargo, and designed by Sam Wyer.
