Making Money

The play is very well paced; it ambles along... The cast do not just present Pratchett’s fantasy world, rather they engage and involve the audience in it... highly entertaining... A good giggle. (Fringe Benefits)

Waves of laughter roll around the Bakehouse. Unseen Theatre Company’s latest production is bang on the money. Pamela Munt’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s 36th Discworld novel Making Money, is thoroughly knowing, eminently funny and altogether fabulous. By some tight direction and remarkable casting she fuses her amateur players into two hours of hilarity. (Stephen Davenport, Independent Weekly)

Moist Von Lipwig is given another offer that is too good to refuse. Who would not wish to be the man in charge of the Ankh-Morpork Royal Mint? It’s a job for life but, as former con man Moist Von Lipwig is learning, life is not necessarily for long. The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire, every day Moist has to take the Chairman for “walkies” and there’s something nameless in the cellar. Oh, and it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss. According to Moist, that’s what happens when you base the value of your monetary system on gold. So just what should he base it on? Potatoes? Dibbler’s famous pies? Golems? Or maybe something as simple as trust? Moist is thinking it should be based on trust. But that could be difficult when he is about to be exposed as a fraud.

On the bright side, the Assassin’s Guild might get him first. In fact a lot of people want him dead.

Everywhere he looks he’s making enemies when what he should be doing is making money.
