Rebellion is nigh in \;Matilda JR.\, a gleefully witty ode to the \;the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! \;This \;story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the &ldquo\;revolting children&rdquo\; who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.
\n\nMatilda has \;astonishing wit\, intelligence&hellip\; and special powers! \;She&rsquo\;s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher\, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda&rsquo\;s school life isn&rsquo\;t completely smooth sailing\, however &ndash\; the school&rsquo\;s mean headmistress\, Miss Trunchbull\, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don&rsquo\;t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts\, and could be the school pupils&rsquo\; saving grace!
