Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Stage adaptation of Terry Pratchett's latest best-selling Discworld novel.

Moist von Lipwig is a con artist, a fraud, and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service back on its feet. Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it's a death sentence either way.

Synopsis:

Stage adaptation of the latest Discworld blockbuster

Synopsis:

The newest entry in Pratchett's internationally bestselling series is a splendid send-up of government, the postal system, and everything that lies in between.

About the Author

Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wilt shire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld se ries and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie.

I actually liked this better the second time around, I think. Last time, I recall being a bit put off by the lack of familiar characters, but this time I was expecting it, so it didn't bother me. The whole thing's hilarious and thoughtful, as usual. Every time I read a Discworld book, there's one or two almost throw-away jokes/scenes that just kill me. In this case, there's two: the way that everything that the greengrocer says is punctuated with too many apostrophes (or should I say, "everything he say's is punctuated with too many apo'strophe's"?), and the whole thing about how it's ALWAYS a bad idea to go back to find the cat.
