Blurb:
Terry Pratchett's infamous city of Ankh-Morpork is under threat
from a 60-foot-fire-breathing dragon, summoned by a secret society
of malcontented tradesmen.
Defending Ankh-Morpork against this threat is the entire, underpaid,
undervalued City Night Watch - a drunken and world-weary Captain, a
cowardly and overweight Sergeant, a small opportunistic Corporal of
dubious parentage...and their newest recruit, Lance-Corporal Carrot,
who is upright, literal, law-abiding and keen. Aiding them in their
fight for truth, justice and the Ankh-Morporkian way are a small
swamp dragon and the Librarian of Unseen University (who just happ-
ens to be an orangutan).
Stephen Briggs has been involved in amateur dramatics for over 25
years and he assures us that the play can be staged without needing
the budget of Industrial Light and Magic. Not only that, but the
cast should still be able to be in the pub well before closing time.
Oh, and a word of advice omitted from the play text:
