We have casting news. Bertie Carvel - Miss Trunchball. Crossdressing men ahoy! Yay! They know the way to my heart clearly. Though I have to say I am utterly intrigued as he is apparently 6' tall (and quite handsome) - the children are going to look like midgets. |

Isn't that the point? In the film Pam Ferris looked ginormous. Miss Trunchbull was a shotputter, not some weeny woman lol

Must admit I have not seen the film/read the book (though I loved them both) since I was a wee thing so my memory is very hazy. |

Full casting: www.rsc.org.uk/about-us/press/2959.aspxAlso mentions Lauren Ward as Miss Honey. Lauren recently played Jack Harkness's mother in an episode of Torchwood. She's suitably sweet and perky for the role. |

Tim Minchin just responded via Twitter regarding whether the show will get a WE transfer or at least a national tour.
"I sure bloody hope so".

I have been asked, as part of The RSC Key Young Tweeters programme, to tweet a review for Matilda. This means free tickets. Hurrah. Watch this space (and @_ophelia) for my review, coming Saturday 20th!
