From the novel by Sir Terry Pratchett.

We all know that man cannot survive on bread alone - unless of course he is Lord Havelock Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork. 

Vetinari usually dines on bread and water followed by the oil that makes the city of Ankh-Morpork run smoothly.

In this year of the Pensive Hare, people were getting bored, and the oil was wearing a bit thin.  It was threatening to spread out of control via the vicious street game of foot-the-ball that people were turning to for their amusement. A game that they believed was more exciting than beating other people over the head with big weapons.

Football - like diplomacy and marriage. Short periods of fighting followed by long periods of negotiation.

"We play and are played and the best we can hope for is to do it with style" - Lord Havelock Vetinari

SNIPPETS FROM REVIEWS:   (fulll reviews attached)

"Director Pamela Munt is wonderful at staging the epic and ridiculous, and here she's at the top of her game as she has her cast working their socks off...........the tale, of course, becomes absurdly comic and involves the world's greatest supermodel, a superb pie cook, goblins, orcs and monsters such as fashion designers and footballers...."
Stephen Davenport - Independent Weekly

"...this yarn of star crossed football fans, wizards and goblins was a delight with just the right amount of humour......Trudi Pavlovsky nursed those of us unschooled in Pratchett through the narrative...Mr. Nutt....was played with a soft and appealing demeanour by David Dyte....an honourable mention goes to Paul Messenger.........but the night belonged to Mark Ormsby and Philip Lineton...........this production deserves to be seen"
Howard Sumner - Australian Stage On-Line

"There's a crowd outside the Bakehouse Theatre. Instead of an orderly queue, it's a throng. A mob. A shove - which somehow seems appropriate for an audience waiting (impatiently) to see Unseen Theatre Company's presentation of Terry Pratchett's novel Unseen Academicals. What makes the production work is the quality of the supporting actors, the costumes, and the loving recreation of the Discworld by all involved."
Tony Busch - Adelaide Theatre Guide

Terry Pratchett's "Carpe Jugulum"

The de Magpyrs are the sort of vampires that would have Cound Dracula spinning in his grave. They are modern, forward-looking and no longer afraid of holy water, garlic, religious symbols or indeed, of anything else. They're out of the casket, and want a bite of the future. Not only that, they've got style and fancy waistcoats.

The World Premiere, based on the novel by Sir Terry Pratchett.  Discworld is a world and a mirror of worlds. This is not a play about Australia. No, it's about somewhere entirely different which just happens to be, here and there, a bit... Australian. Still... no worries, right?

On the Discworld anything can happen.  Or even “not happen”. Sometimes its difficult to know which is which – even for the Wizards at Unseen University.   In this case, The Last Continent was “not happening”.  It was dying, even as it was being built, and even the Gods who were building it didn’t quite know what was going on.  Some thought it was to do with the spacetime continuum. Others thought that there was not enough magic left in the world to glue all the pieces together.  The one thing that they did agree on was that it needed a hero.  A hero who would eat a Pie Floater even when he was sober.

Moist Von Lipwig is given another offer that is too good to refuse.  Who would not wish to be the man in charge of the Ankh-Morpork Royal Mint?  It’s a job for life but, as former con man Moist Von Lipwig is learning, life is not necessarily for long. The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire, every day Moist has to take the Chairman for “walkies” and there’s something nameless in the cellar.  Oh, and it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss.  According to Moist, that’s what happens when you base the value of your monetary system on gold.  So just what should he base it on?  Potatoes?  Dibbler’s famous pies?  Golems?  Or maybe something as simple as trust?  Moist is thinking it should be based on trust.  But that could be difficult when he is about to be exposed as a fraud.

Starring a cast of thousands – most of them handmaidens.
