MATILDA Previews
Could it be that there is a difference in sense of humour here? But there is a comic element to Miss Trunchbull and the Wormwoods. I'm British myself and I personally find the characters and the script excellent. I think people are thinking far too deeply about the 'meaness' of some of the characters. When I saw the show in London (and I'm going again in a couple of weeks) the audience were absolutely loving it and to be fair the majority were adults!
