SYNOPSIS: Charlie Bucket was not special, but he was the luckiest boy in the entire world - he just didn't know it yet. 15 years ago, Willy Wonka opened the largest chocolate factory in the world inventing the most incredible sweets and chocolate delights, but spies stole his recipes so he closed the factory. It didn't close forever though, and suddenly he decides to allow 5 children to visit the factory and one of them will win a special prize at the end. The children have to find one of the five golden tickets hidden beneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary Wonka bars. And so the adventure begins...
PLAYWRIGHT: Adapted by Richard George from the book by Roald Dahl (13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) who was a UK novelist, short story author and screenwriter of Norwegian parentage, famous as a writer for both children and adults.
