Description

Terry Pratchett takes Shakespeare's Macbeth and then turns it up till the knob comes off. It's all there – a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril. And who stands between the kingdom and destruction? Three witches. Granny Weatherwax (intolerant, self-opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down to earth, vulgar) and Magrat Garlick (naïve, fond of occult jewellery and bunnies).

Great production from a young cast.

A large and enthusiastic high school production. The size of the audience showed that by choosing a show based on a much loved Terry Pratchett book Avondale Theatre Company are going to be a great success at this year's Fringe.

The staging and especially the excellent costumes were very effective. All the lead parts were good. The three witches were very successful in capturing the very different characters and had all the funniest lines. The large supporting ensemble performed some very complex and impressive physical acting. For a group of America High School students all the characters accents were incredibly well observed.

The only slight drawback was that due to the size of the stage some of the dialogue from the back of the stage was a little hard to hear.

Well Done!!!
