The marvellous - and mischievous - Matilda is back on the road

- JANET TANSLEY

MATILDA has never done anything by halves - which is why her new tour promises to be outrageously entertaining.

The Royal Shakespeare Company production of Matilda The Musical, based on Roald Dahl's famous classic, is 15 this year and, as well as continuing a hit run in the London's West End, it's heading out on a new stage tour across the UK and Ireland.

Matilda is a young girl with wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers.
