You can sort of tell the difference if you look closely.

Imagine putting Macbeth, Hamlet and Pratchett’s hilarious take on the world of fantasy into a cauldron until it hubbled and bubbled.

If you aren’t familiar with Terry Pratchett’s world, Wyrd Sisters features the ghost of a murdered king, an evil Duke and, of course, the three witches. I don’t know how they did it, but with no scenery and very few props, just the odd table or teapot, the Monstrous Productions Theatre Company managed to magic up the Discworld.įrom the opening scene where the three witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat meet – all played brilliantly by Ellen Warren, Zoe Azzopardi and Lowri Belson – it was like seeing the much-loved book come to life. So, how could a small-budget local theatre production of Wyrd Systers, starring one of my favourite Discworld characters Granny Weatherwax, possibly hope to hold up? The phenomenally successful series has even had a few big budget TV airings starring the likes of David Jason and Michelle Dockery. I’ve been reading about the adventures happening on the back of Great A’Tuin, the world weary turtle, for most of my life. Like Starfleet, Tatooine and the Tardis, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is hallowed ground for geeks.
