About

The work of Sir Terry Pratchett OBE comes to Guide Bridge Theatre in a wonderful adaptation by Stephen Briggs. If you like your comic fantasy turned up to the maximum you will be delighted with this tale of witches and royalty, loosely based on Macbeth.

The ambitious wife of Duke Felmet persuades him to murder his cousin, King Verence I of Lancre. An escaping servant gives the King's crown and child to three witches; Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg  and Magrat Garlick. They hand the child to a troupe of travelling actors and hide the crown in the props-box. So destiny can take its course and the child can one day take his rightful place as king, right? Well things are never simple with these witches.
