Wyrd sisters coming soon

Fans of Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' series will love Stephen Brigg's stage adaptation of his novel, 'The Wyrd Sisters' (itself an interpretation of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'). Everyone else will simply have a ball watching this clever and hilarious take on a classic tale.

Terry Pratchett takes Shakespeare's Macbeth and then turns it up 'till the knob comes off. It's all there - a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril. And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction? Three witches: Granny Weatherwax (intolerant, self-opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down-to-earth, vulgar) and Magrat Garlick (naïve, fond of occult jewellery and bunnies).
