I made loads of plans this year and saw a whole heap of
shows! Yesterday evening was the last one: a production of Wyrd Sisters at the Brighthelm Church & Community Centre.
The play was adapted from Terry Pratchett's book of the same
title, from his Discworld series, and
was performed by Brighton University Drama Society. I went to see it with my
parents, neither of whom have read the book (I may have pestered them a little
to go to the play...)
I re-read the book recently, in order to refresh my memory
of the storyline. It's been a while since I last read it and I'd been really
looking forward to seeing this play.
Wyrd Sisters is something of a take on Macbeth, with some
good old Terry Pratchett humour and quirkiness thrown in for good measure. It
includes three witches, a dead king, a group of
strolling players, a mad ruler and a fool.
