A playful comedy of rebellion and justice, the performance is fantastically well-suited to the grotesque world of puppet theatre.
The production is one children and adults will love, Perth Theatre Review columnist Richard Hyde said.
"[It's] full of colour and movement, humour and a positive message," he said.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.
- Roald Dahl, The Twits
"Take your children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces, the neighbours kids - they'll have a blast."
First published in 1980, the story tells the tale of the a pair of horrible twits and the tricks they like to play on each other.
Mr Twit hates his wife while Mrs Twit detests her husband. His beard is full of food and dirty, in Quentin Blake's original illustrations Mr Twit has cornflakes, stilton cheese and tinned sardines stuck in the bristles.

Even in real life Roald Dahl wasn't a fan of beards, he thought men who had them were hiding something sinister.
The adaptation of The Twits is Roald Dahl in his purest form.
The show is on at TRECC on Thursday, August 15 at 6pm.
