These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl’s Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. 'Dahl is too good a storyteller to become predictable.' The Daily Telegraph Bitch is the last story in Switch Bitch, a collection of four tales of seduction and suspense told by the grand master of the short story, Roald Dahl. ‘Dahl is too good a storyteller to become predictable’ Daily Telegraph In the black comedies of Switch Bitch Roald Dahl brilliantly captures the ins and outs, highs and lows of sex. In the middle, meanwhile, are The Great Switcheroo and The Last Act, two stories exploring a darker side of desire and pleasure. ![]() ![]() Topping and tailing this collection are The Visitor and Bitch, stories featuring Dahl’s notorious hedonist Oswald Hendryks Cornelius (or plain old Uncle Oswald) whose exploits are frequently as extraordinary as they are scandalous.

There's overlap in theme and setting (the South, isolation) and that experience was excellent - this would clearly be even better in a decent production. My only other experience with Williams is a production of The Glass Menagerie. That comes as a bit of a shock after previously reading no drama except Ben Jonson this year, where-in you're lucky to get anything beyond entrance and exit instructions. ![]() Williams does some things I don't recall ever having seen before he discusses the audience in stage direction and at one point rambles off into philosophising about the purpose of drama and such like. Over-all I think I like the original version more. Then something strange happens - act 3 occurs twice! Williams has included his original draft of act 3 and the performance version, modified in response to the original director. The first act slowly winds up to a very dramatic finish and tensions are racked up higher still in act 2. ![]() Here, it's not really what the secrets are that's interesting, it's who the characters are and where the author's sympathies lie. ![]() On a sultry summer evening family meets and secrets are revealed.so far, so a zillion other plays. ![]() |
