Quite enjoyed this
Personally I prefer the Jonathan Church version a decade ago. A larger scale production that had more special effects and was able to show the witches' grotesqueness.
Due to it's limitations this production does take artistic liberties with the book. Here the witches don't have bald heads but outlandish 70s hairdos that they hide under their normal looking wigs. However the Grandmother still says that they have bald heads so it doesn't quite make sense. Did the Roald Dahl estate or David Wood prevented the Curve from changing the script?
Still it is a small scale production at heart and facilities will enjoy it. Sarah Ingram relishes playing the grand high witch
At 1 hour and 40 minutes I can't complain
