AUDITION NOTICE: Wyrd Sisters - Brisbane Arts Theatre

Title: Terry Pratchett’s Wyrd Sisters

Presented By: Brisbane Arts Theatre

Genre: Fantasy Comedy


Synopsis: Imagine Shakespeare’s Macbeth, then infuse it with Terry Pratchett’s unique brand of wit and a healthy dose of chaos – that’s what you get when “the knob comes off.” All the classic ingredients are here: a villainous duke and duchess, the chilling ghost of a murdered king, hapless soldiers, flamboyant strolling players, and a realm in dire straits. But the true heroes, the ones who stand between the kingdom and destruction, are a coven of witches unlike any other: the formidable and self-assured Granny Weatherwax, the earthy and unrefined Nanny Ogg, and the sweet, bunny-loving, occult-jewelry-wearing Magrat Garlick.
