THE WITCHES Based on the book The Witches by Roald Dahl Adapted by David Wood

This is a faithful adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic story in which Boy and his Grandmother defeat the Grand High Witch and her followers, who are holding a Conference in an English seaside hotel. During the struggle, Boy gets turned into a mouse. The Witches are nothing like the ones who wear pointed hats and fly on broomsticks – they look very much like ordinary women, which helps their deception. But there are clues – listen closely to Grandmother’s advice on how to spot a Witch.
