The Last Continent

Unseen Theatre Company presents:-

THE LAST CONTINENT.

Original novel by SirTerry Pratchett. Adapted for the stage and Directed by Pamela Munt
“Dead is only for once, but running away is forever” – Rincewind

“Thanks to Munt’s magical script, The Last Continent is a rib-tickling satire and a tongue-in-jowl spoof on Australia that’s fabulously funny and well worth seeing more than once.” - Stephen Davenport – Australian Stage Online.

“.....the overall feel is something like a cross between Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter....Following a Tolkien-esque hero’s journey, Rincewind is assisted by a magical kangaroo and a crocodile that runs the Didyabringabeeralong pub..... a great night out” - Samantha Bond – Independent Weekly

“This time Pamela Munt has done her own adaptation and she knows the territory, and the venue really well....very sound laughs and some good solid performances.....The opening night audience enjoyed themselves noisily” – Ewart Shaw – The Advertiser

“..There is never a dull moment.....Cultural icons, in deviant and hilarious reconfigurations, appear at irregular intervals, from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, to the invention of Vegemite, nothing is sacred.... (you) will not want to miss this production” – Barry Lenny – Glam Adelaide

ABOUT THE STORY:
On the Discworld anything can happen. Or even “not happen”. Sometimes it’s 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. 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, some thought it was to do with evolution taking control of itself. 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 all agreed on was that it needed a hero. A hero who could eat a Pie Floater even when he was sober…….. Yep it’s our old friend Rincewind, the inept wizard who can’t even spell wizzard, but he’s the only hero left. Still…..no worries, right?
