David Walliams' Awful Auntie
When Stella sets off to visit London with her parents, Lord and Lady Saxby, she has no idea her life is in danger! Waking up three months later, only her Aunt Alberta can tell Stella what has happened. But not everything Alberta tells her turns out to be true and Stella quickly discovers she’s in for the fight of her life against her very own awful Auntie!
From the award-winning West End producers of Gangsta Granny comes the world premiere of David Walliams’ amazing tale of frights, fights and friendship, featuring a very large owl, a very small ghost and a very awful Auntie!

Great show. Children were glued to their seats whilst watching. Just like the story book. Brilliant show!!!

It seemed to me that David Walliams is trying to be a reincarnation of Roald Dahl. The slightly scary characters are there but the plot is formulaic and it lacks the wit of Dahl. My grandchildren enjoyed it but I missed hearing the joyful laughter that you her at the BFG or Matilda. The sets were very clever and the venue comfortable. Auntie was actually pretty awful.

Although all four of the children in our party, aged between 4 and 8, thoroughly enjoyed the performance, the four adults among us found the entire show totally devoid of any humour whatsoever. The play was incredibly wooden in its writing and also performance. Family audiences these days are used to the type of show that can appeal to all ages, this was clearly not the case with Awful Auntie.

I took my seven year old son to see the show on 24 Dec and we thoroughly enjoyed it very much. You could see the joy and excitement in his expression and he was thankful for coming to see the play. He has read the book and was thrilled to see it in person. The actors were brilliant and stage was great.
