Unseen heatre Co Presents THE LAST CONTINENT At Bakehouse Theatre 10/9-21

Unseen Theatre Company presents the World Premiere of Sir Terry Pratchett's
"The Last Continent"

Adapted for the stage and Directed by Pamela Munt

After producing eighteen Pratchett plays adapted for the stage by Stephen Briggs, Pamela is thrilled to announce that she has been given permission by Terry Pratchett and his agent to adapt this particular play from scratch.
As the Oz expert in the field, it is particularly fitting that her first solo adaptation is of the only Pratchett play with allusions to Australia.

About the play:-

"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. The Gods who were building it didn't quite know what was going on. Some thought it was to do with the space/time continuum. Some thought that there was not enought magic left in the world to glue all the pieces together. Others thought it may be something to do with the lack of rain.

The one thing that they did agree on was that it needed a hero. A hero who could eat a Pie Floater even when he was sober......Yep its our old friend Rincewind. The inept wizard who can't even spell wizard. He's the only hero left. Still..no worries, right?, or as he would say:-

"Dead is for once, but running away is forever"

"A cross between Tolkien and a gentler, more benign Tom Sharpe" (Sunday Telegraph)
"The humour sparkles as brightly as ever" (The Times)
