A large and varied cast is required, so if you have any interest at all and are available for the above dates, please come along to the audition (regardless of gender or age - except that you need to be over 18 years of age) ABOUT THE SHOW: “Discworld is a world and a mirror of worlds. This is not a play about Australia. No, it's about somewhere entirley different which just happens to be, here and there, a bit . . . Australian….. Still . . . no worries, right?” On the Discworld anything can happen. Or even “not happen”. Sometimes its difficult to know which is which – even for the Wizards at Unseen University. In this case, The Last Continent was “not happening”. It was dying, even as it was being built, and even the Gods who were building it didn’t quite know what was going on. Some thought it was to do with the space/time continuum. Others thought that there was not enough magic left in the world to glue all the pieces together. Others thought it may be something to do with the lack of rain. The one thing that they did agree on was that it needed a hero. A hero who could eat a Pie Floater even when he was sober…….. Yep its our old friend Rincewind. The inept wizard who can’t even spell wizard. He’s the only hero left. Still…..no worries, right?, or as he would say:- “Dead is only for once, but running away is forever” “A cross between Tolkien and a gentler, more benign Tom Sharpe” ( Sunday Telegraph) “The humour sparkles as brightly as ever” (The Times)
