Maskerade

Written by Sir Terry Pratchett

Sporadic Productions is proud to present a stage adaptation of Sir Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novel “Maskerade”. This comedic murder mystery parodies The Phantom of the Opera while weaving a fantastical tale about the masks – figurative and literal - that we all wear.

Welcome to the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, home to music, theatrics, and a masked ghost… where dying on stage is a bit more than just a metaphor.

Young not-quite-a-witch, Agnes Nitt has left her home in Lancre to seek a career at the Opera House.  Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, on their way to Ankh-Morpork for... unrelated reasons... would much rather she return home and join their coven.

Opera is nothing if not dramatic, and now all three are caught up in a maelstrom of masked mayhem and maniacal laughter (delivered via handwritten note), but most certainly not featuring a precariously hanging chandelier.

As the corpses pile up and the corps de ballet clamour for additional hazard pay, only one thing is certain – the show must go on!
