Our Next Production

‘Wyrd Sisters’ by Terry Pratchett

Our next main production to be performed at the Southport Arts Centre in the week 9th-14th March 20th will be ‘Wyrd Sisters’ directed by Roger Sloman.

The play is adapted for the stage from Terry Pratchett’s novel by Stephen Briggs. This is a discworld story, being set in a fantasy zone where Pratchett tells stories of exotic yet down-to-earth characters in a mock ‘sword and sorcery’ mode. This allows for very funny satires and parodies on the modern world. ‘Wyrd Sisters’ introduces three witches serving (as much as they understand the concept of ‘service’ – they like to be in control) villages in the remote mountain kingdom of Lancre. They lock spells and spears with a usurping Duke. The theme of the parody is the power of propaganda and the jokes include any number of Shakespearean plot themes.
