Charles Brunton will play Egalentine’s magic teacher, Professor Emelius Browne. Charles starred in the iconic role of Miss Trunchbull in Matilda both in the West End and on Broadway.

Upon discovering Eglantine to be a trainee witch, the Rawlins children join forces to search for a secret spell that will defeat the enemy once and for all. Armed with an enchanted bedknob, a bewitched broomstick and a magical flying bed, they encounter surprising new friendships on their journey from Portobello Road to the depths of the beautiful briny sea.

Original songs by the legendary Sherman Brothers (Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) will feature in the production.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks is brought to life by award-winning theatre-makers Candice Edmunds and Jamie Harrison.
