Tuacahn’s production is highlighted by brilliant performances from Gallo, Bradley and Ban, who have the heavy job of providing both the comedic relief and dishing out fear and loathing in convincing fashion. It is a tough balance to get right and all three take it in turn quite well.
As Mr. Wormwood, Bradley is an effective loser of a father who stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that Matilda is a girl and spends his days trying to cheat his customers. Though he is often funny, Mr. Wormwood is also cruel to Matilda and some of the moments between the pair are thick with fear and injustice.
