Waiting for Wonka
Half Trick Theatre
5 - 16 AUG - 11:40
Fifteen years after the competition that ruined
their lives, five damaged adults try to understand what happened to them
as children. Veruca, Augustus, Violet, and Mike are all grown up and
haunted by what happened to them on that fabled factory tour. Watched over
by their new landlord, Charlie, they must grapple with the consequences of
their childhood trauma. Waiting for Wonka is an unauthorised parody sequel
to one of the most enduring stories of the 20th century. 'A slick,
engaging piece of theatre with humour, pathos and a clear theatrical
know-how' ****½ (The Student).
