Based on the Discworld novel by comic fantasy writer Terry Pratchett, CARPE JUGULUM tells the tale of how vampires have arrived in the Kingdom of Lancre and how the Witches are unable to stop them from taking over. Granny Weatherwax is missing, so it is up to stalwarts Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick, plus newest member of the coven, Agnes Nitt, to do battle with the naughty invaders. But these are no ordinary vampires they are facing. They can go out during the day; garlic, crucifixes and holy water have no effect on them, and although they still need blood to survive, the Magpyre Clan is trying to get to grips with this strange beverage called "tea".

THE ROLES AVAILABLE FOR CASTING ARE :

COUNT de MAGPYRE, a rather modern vampyre
COUNTESS de MAGPYRE, his supportive wife
VLAD, a young vampyre stud
LACRIMOSA, a whinging convert to the New Vampyrism
AGNES NITT, a rather rotund young witch
PERDITA, the thin girl inside every not-so-thin girl
MIGHTILY OATS, a bumbling, yet sincere, man of the cloth
SCRAPS, a dog made up of many parts
VERENCE II, young reformist King of Lancre
SHAWN OGG, the Lancre Castle everyman
JASON OGG, a blacksmith
MILLIE CHILLUM, the Royal maid
Mrs SCORBIC, the Royal Cook
DEATH, the Grim Reaper
PROLOGUE, a Narrator
THE OLD COUNT, a traditional vampire
A BANDIT, a hapless highwayman
WAYNETTA, BERYL, DUANE, members of the Ogg Clan
MORBIDIA, DEMONE, KRIMSON, CRYTOPHER, other vampyres
and of course
a CHORUS of REVOLTING PEASANTS
