But his publisher, Puffin, caused controversy this month for hiring “sensitivity readers” to rewrite his books with hundreds of revisions so that they “can continue to be enjoyed by all today”. Words spoken by the crocodile in the book, "I'm going to fill my hungry empty tummy with something yummy yummy yummy yummy!", displayed in the Dahl sculpture in CardiffThe Witches is a rip-roaring musical version of Roald Dahl’s timeless tale, filled with wit, daring and heart. With book and lyrics by Olivier Award-winner Lucy Kirkwood, music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Dave Malloy, and directed by Lyndsey Turner. Set and costume design is by Lizzie Clachan. The Enormous Crocodile begins his search to find tasty children to eat, but is invariably exposed by fellow animals in the forest. Eventually, though, he is shot into space and is "incinerated like a sausage," killing him in the process. Update this section! Kudos, Mr. Dahl for another wonderful story. I hope to keep reading a collection of your work and finding new gems about which I can be proud.

With The Enormous Crocodile we wanted to make a show that speaks to four-year-olds, delights their older siblings and treats their parents to some brilliant music. The music is like Dahl’s stories in its capacity to capture audiences of all generations. It is at once dark, funny and compulsively moreish! The Roly-Poly Bird makes a surprising appearance in The Twits and he can also be seen in Dirty Beasts. Currently in development, the theatre division is also concocting a large-scale circus spectacle, that brings together beloved characters from the most popular Roald Dahl stories for the first time. This brand-new show is being cooked up by a stellar creative team including Olivier Award-winning director Polly Findlay, masters of circus spectacle Cirque Bijou and Stephen Long& Iain Sharkey - the minds behind many of Derren Brown’s TV and stage illusions.

Here at the Roald Dahl Story Company, we are thrilled to announce three exciting new theatre productions:Later on, the big crocodile walks to a children's playground located outside an old school. Using only an abandoned tree branch, (referred to as "a large piece of wood"), the cheeky crocodile disguises himself as a "see-saw", hoping to eat an entire class of children who want to ride on what they think is the "new see-saw" itself, but, despite the school children's teacher telling the children themselves that it is "a rather knobbly sort of a see-saw", he is just disturbed on the spot by Muggle-Wump the Monkey, who tells the whole class of children to "run, run, run" and that the big crocodile is not really a real see-saw and that he just wants to eat them up. The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre is an independent charity, founded in 2001 by Roald Dahl’s widow, Liccy. Their founding objective as a charity is to further the education of the public in the art of literature and creativity, by running a museum and literature centre based on the works of Roald Dahl. The audiobook of The Enormous Crocodile is narrated alternately on the audio cassette and compact disc by Roger Blake and Stephen Fry. The story was adapted into a 1997 TV special by Abbey Home Entertainment.
