Jul 31, 20242 min read

Title: Sir Terry Pratchett’s The Fifth Elephant

Presented By: Brisbane Arts Theatre

Genre: Fantasy/Comedy

Synopsis: In this stage adaptation of one of Pratchett’s best-selling novels, Commander Vimes is sent to the icy, Transylvania-like realm of Uberwald to build trade relations with the Dwarf King. But his mission soon takes a turn as he finds himself trying to prevent an inter-species war. He’s not alone, though; he’s accompanied by a talking dog, a reformed vampyre, and a self-made man—evident from the stitches that still mark his construction. What begins as an official diplomatic mission quickly deteriorates. Vimes ends up as a fugitive in the frigid woods, wearing nothing but the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya, and being hunted by a pack of rule-breaking fascist werewolves.
