All the Discworld’s a Stage – Unseen Academicals & Feet of Clay & The Rince Cycle

Published by Oberon

Large Mixed Cast

Stephen Briggs skillfully brings Terry Pratchett’s Discworld to the Stage

The three plays in the Collection are …

Feet of Clay

Someone is killing Lord Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork

No one knows who, no one knows why and, worst of all, no one knows how he just gets weaker and weaker

But it’s not just Vetinari

Across the city, people are being murdered, but there’s no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene

Commander Vimes, Head of the City Watch, is a man who hates ‘clues’

He and his team must question everyone the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker

In a city teeming with vampires, werewolves, dwarfs with attitude and golems, Vimes must solve the crimes and save the Patrician.

The Rince Cycle

As a punishment, failed wizard Rincewind is given the task of guiding and safeguarding the Disc’s first tourist, Twoflower (with his magical luggage on legs)

As they travel the city and beyond, they meet the world’s oldest hero, Cohen the Barbarian

With him, and with Bethan (a qualified sacrificial victim), they encounter druids, trolls, adventurers, a hairdresser and a power-crazed wizard

Oh, and Death

But not fatally

And did we mention that Rincewind also has to save the world from destruction by a huge Red Star destined to collide with the Discworld at Hogswatch?

The Rince Cycle is mostly based on The Light Fantastic, with bits of The Colour of Magic and Sourcery added for good measure

Unseen Academicals

‘Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Ankh-Morpork, where we lay our scene’

Football divides the city

Each area has its own team and rivalry means supporters never mix

Until a Dimwell fan falls for a Dolly Sisters girl

And now an ancient bequest means the Wizards of Unseen University must win a football match

Without using magic

Luckily they’re coached by the mysterious Mr Nutt – no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt

As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed forever

Because the thing about football the important thing about football is that it is not just about football
