Matilda Jr

Following the success of last year’s production of Beauty and the Beast JR, Belfast School of Performing Arts is delighted to bring you the story of an extraordinary girl with magical powers in Matilda JR.

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination. This uplifting story follows a remarkable young girl who dreams of a better life and inspires the children around her. Audiences will be cheering for the “revolting children” as they set out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

Matilda possesses astonishing wit, intelligence, and very special powers. Though neglected by her cruel parents, she finds encouragement in her kind and much-loved teacher, Miss Honey. However, school life is far from easy under the rule of the fearsome headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who despises children and delights in inventing ever more outrageous punishments.

With courage, cleverness, and a touch of magic, Matilda may just be the saving grace her classmates need.

Join our talented cast of “Revolting Children” for what promises to be a memorable, joyous, and high-energy production for the whole family.
