Hogfather
HOGFATHER by Terry Pratchett
7-16 December
It’s the night before Hogswatch, usually a time of joy, but it’s too quiet. Where is the big fat jolly Hogfather? And why is Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say 'Ho Ho Ho’?
With suspicious goings-on in the criminal underworld and Discworld's entire mythical system under threat, Susan the gothic governess has to sort it all out before morning, otherwise there might not be another morning ever again.
A hugely entertaining festive treat for newcomers to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld and a delight for existing fans. Suitable for ages 8-108.
There is a relaxed performance, with reduced capacity, on Sunday 10 December.
Runtime: 2 hours, 20 minutes (includes an interval of 20 minutes).
Directed by Chris Moran.
