Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters at Open Circle Theater

Open Circle Theater is pleased to present the stage adaptation of Terry Pratchett's cult Discworld novel WYRD SISTERS, having its Seattle premiere June 25 thru July 17.

Wyrd Sisters takes Macbeth and then turns it up ‘till the knob comes off (with healthy doses of Hamlet, Lear and Richard III implied as well).  It’s all there - a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril.  And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction?  Three powerful witches and a cartload of puns, jokes and lampooning. It's “the Scottish play” from the witches perspective.

Terry Pratchett is the well known author of the Discworld novels, currently at 37 books and growing.  The books are broad comic fantasies that follow actions in a place called Discworld, a vaguely medieval place, which is a flat world balanced on the back of four elephants and which is, in turn, on the back of a giant turtle.  Each book is set in a different part of the Disc and generally parodies or is inspired by a different subject ("Wyrd Sisters" is MacBeth, "Maskerade" opera and Phantom, etc.). Currently the second most-read writer in the UK and seventh non-US author most-read in the US, Terry Pratchett and the Discworld series have gained an international cult following.

[nwsfs-announcements] Around the World in 80 Days

This was sent to NWSFS, we believe it would be of interest to our membership.

"A true English gentleman never jokes when he is talking about so serious a thing as a wager.” – Phileas Fogg
Jules Verne’s novel springs vividly to life in this wildly theatrical adaptation that takes you on a madcap adventure that’s sure to please. A bet to travel around the world in 80 days is a fool’s venture in 1872, unless you happen to be named Phileas Fogg. Villainy, a damsel in distress and an array of transportation disasters are met with Victorian virtue and a precision pocket watch in Brown’s comic play that’s part James Bond, part Lord Peter Wimsey and pure fun.
