...as usual, Unseen delivers the goods in fine style, with thrills and giggles a plenty in Munt's wonderful adaptations of five of Sir Terry's petite tales....everyone gets Pratchett beautifully right, so that one is all the time aware of the satirical intent behind the delicious fun. - Stephen Davenport - Indaily

A seasoned ensemble cast....launch their way steadily through this hand-picked selection of clever and off beat scenarios......in particular...David Dyte’s bit parts are a delight. It is both an assured homage for Pratchett fans, and a varied showbag of introduction for Pratchett novice audiences. Daniel McInnes – Stage Whispers

It is no wonder that these highly complex pieces of theatre, adapted from the Discworld books of Terry Pratchett, worked so well. When Granny Weatherwax is your director nothing dares go wrong! In our world Granny Weatherwax is sometimes known as Pamela Munt, and it is thanks to her passion and skill that Adelaide audiences have the chance to live with yet more Pratchett Pieces. Christine Pyman - Glam Adelaide

Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels are, perhaps, legendary..In Unseen’s Pratchett Pieces Three, five of his short stories.. have been adapted by Pamela Munt with great success. ..The eleven cast members ... make a tight, strong ensemble giving good performances all round....It is a very funny, enjoyable night of entertainment that should most definitely appease true Pratchett lovers, and highly likely to bag him quite a few new converts. - Brian Godfrey - Theatre People

Bite-sized quirky comedies adapted by Pamela Munt from the short stories of Sir Terry Pratchett.
This is the third time that Unseen Theatre Company has presented bite-sized Terry Pratchett comedies especially for the Adelaide Fringe, but this time we are giving you even more! - A full season of shows immediately prior to the Fringe and three nights at the beginning of the Fringe season. Pratchett Pieces Three will consist of three brand new plays (never seen before), and a chance to catch up on a couple from Pratchett Pieces One and Two, that you may have missed in previous Fringe seasons. If you are a Pratchett fan you cannot afford to miss this! If you are not a fan yet, come along and see what all the fuss is about!

Please note that although Pratchett Pieces Three runs for our normal full season, only three nights of this season will be over the Fringe period. These nights are Feb 22, 23, & 24.
