Not a proper review, I know, but I've just arrived home from the show, and must go sleep.

I enjoyed 'Hogfather' so much I recommend all to go see it - very enjoyable night out!

Well done to all involved!!

Thanks for the review, Amanda - forewarned is forearmed as they say and so I made sure I listened hard during Death's scenes last night. The reverb did make it a little hard to understand at times but it was very effective.

One quibble, I'm afraid, and it's a whopper.

Why did Blak Yak get a gorilla to play the Librarian? When you work in a Zoo with orangs and you're sitting with an orang expert who introduced Terry Pratchett to our lot when he was in Perth a few years ago, you notice these things. Was Hsing Hsing's agent demanding too much money?

The music was brill, the performances wonderful and the production a lot of fun. And thanks to Terry P (whom I sure reads this forum) for donating his royalties to our orang appeal.

Pamela.

Thou pribbling doghearted bladder!
