Matilda JNR




Newtownabbey Arts and Cultural Network in partnership with Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council presents Matilda JNR.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She’s despised by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly-loveable Miss Honey. However, school life isn’t completely smooth-sailing either - the mean Headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal measure and just could be the pupils’ saving grace! Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR. is a joyous girl-power romp.

Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination. The children are rising up. Join the revolt in this adaptation of the Olivier Award-winning hit!
