A comedy adventure full of dragons, dastardly plans, dire deeds and decidedly dramatic dramas comes to life at the end of November.
Adapted by Stephen Briggs from the popular Discworld novel and directed by Bradley Towton, Terry Pratchett’s Guards! Guards! is lighting up the Roleystone Theatre stage.
The play follows the exploits of the City Night Watch, an underfunded and underappreciated group of misfit guards faced with their greatest challenge yet – a monstrous, 60-foot fire-breathing dragon, summoned by a clandestine society of disgruntled tradesmen.
With the odds stacked against them, the Night Watch must rely on unexpected allies in their quest to protect the city, including a small, fiery swamp dragon and the enigmatic Librarian of Unseen University, who – despite being an orang-outan – proves to be a valuable asset.
