What to do, when old traditions leave you vulnerable, and the youth of today are already so long in the tooth they are bored by both the old and the new? 

Count de Magpyr is redefining himself as a modern vampire, and he's dragging his family of bloodsucking fiends with him.

Meanwhile, in the neighbouring kingdom of Lancre, there's a little princess' naming ceremony to conduct and everyone's invited... even the de Magpyrs. So as much as they love having guests for dinner, they enjoy it even more when there are new people dying to meet them. The vampires are, after all, such neo-Gothic trendsetters.

Fortunately, the Witches of Lancre have also been invited to the feast (mostly) and they are solely interested in ale, handsome young men, and preserving the traditions where vampires are repelled through the light of religious faith, scalded by holy water, staked through the heart, decapitated, stuffed with garlic and roasted over a fresh pyre - until turned to ash.

Sir Terry Prachett's Discworld books have delighted and (in a subtle way) educated readers of all ages since 1983. If you saw our 2004 production of Wyrd Sisters, you can now catch up with the continuing adventures of Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Queen Magrat of Lancre. But even if you didn't see the earlier show, don't miss this Witches vs. Vampires Halloween showdown of epic proportions!
