Production Notes

'Through the fathomless deeps of space
swims the star turtle Great A'Tuin,
bearing on its back the four giant
elephants who carry on their shoulders
the mass of the Discworld.'

Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today, and is known for his creation of the Discworld.
The Discworld is not totally unlike our own, except that it is a flat disc, carried on the backs of four elephants astride a giant turtle floating through space. It is peopled by, among others, wizards, dwarves, soldiers, thieves, beggars, vampires and witches.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld has always been a favourite for Castaway Community Theatre, who have performed both Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad. [Also Lords and Ladies! -- Ed.]
Castaway performed Wyrd Sisters in 1997 as a touring production,and I felt it would be a challenge to revive it for Castaway's return to the main stage.
We hope you enjoy the show!

Reviews

Review by : Dave Taylor (Theatre Wales)

...Wyrd sisters was a fun show to watch, with some brilliant comic moments and a good family night out. It is not often that in such a mixed group as Castaway, you would find so many people with that essential comic timing which was needed for this piece. Castaway has found those talented people, making this a great show to watch. Castaway Community Theatre Company have once again brought us a fantastic show, something of which the community can be proud of. Personally I have not seen a community theatre company put on such a strong production before, and I cannot wait to see what they bring us next.
