Synopsis
|
|
Terry Pratchett's infamous city of Ankh-Morpork is under threat from a 60-foot
fire-breathing dragon, summoned by a secret society of malcontented tradesmen.
Defending Ankh-Morpork against this threat is the entire, underpaid,
undervalued City Night Watch - a drunken and world-weary Captain, a cowardly
and overweight Sergeant, a small opportunistic Corporal of dubious parentage...
and their newest recruit, Lance-Constable Carrot, who is upright, literal,
law-abiding and keen. Aiding them in their fight for truth, justice and
the Ankh-Morporkian way, are a small swamp dragon and the Librarian of
Unseen University (who just happens to be an orang-utan)... |
| NODA Review | |||
|
The play is an adaptation of
one of Terry Pratchetts many works describing events in the Discworld.
Staging a Discworld novel becomes a challenging play of 29 scenes located
in a variety of locations, a cast of 36 supported by 2 dragons and an
orang-utan. On top of this the Club had to cope with the relocation of
the plays' promoter and co director. The club produced a skilfully crafted
piece of theatre that was hugely enjoyed by a packed audience. [more] |
