Director's Notes

Welcome to a part of the Discworld that you have never seen before. Most of our beloved author's stories are set in the main city of Ankh-Morpork which has a distinct feel of Ye Olde England about it. This time we are going to Fourecks - The Last Continent. We are still on the Discworld but far away from the narrow winding grubby streets of Ankh-Morpork, home of the City Watch.

Pamela is particularly thrilled to be playing Archchancellor Rincewind because despite having produced, directed and acted in 18 Discworld plays, this is the first time she gets to legitimately carry weapons. Well that is, on stage at least. In the distant past, she has been known to brandish them at obstreperous cast members and/or audience members who arrive late. She is also enjoying letting the well known, usually very formal character of Footnote gradually “go native” in this production.
