Wyrd Sisters
Synopsis
" Alle Thee Dysk's a Stage"
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).
Tudor Players present this play on Stephen Briggs' assurance that it can be staged without the budget of Industrial Light & Magic. That, and his promise that the cast should be able to be in the pub by 10 o'clock.
This production was staged in memory of our friend Rod Duncan, and funds were raised to support the vital work of Ashgate Hospice in Chesterfield where Rod spend his final days.
