The Australian premiere of Sir Terry Pratchett’s
“FEET OF CLAY”
An hilarious Discworld Howdunnit
Adapted by Stephen Briggs.
Directed by Pamela Munt
It's murder in Discworld! - which ordinarily is no big deal. But what bothers Commander Samuel Vimes, head of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, is that the unusual deaths of two harmless old men do not bear the clean, efficient marks of the Assassins' Guild.
But that's only the start... someone is slowly poisoning the Patrician. No one knows who, no one knows why and, worst of all no one knows how – he just gets weaker and weaker.
Added to that, the City Watch has got problems of its own. There's a werewolf suffering from Pre-Lunar Tension, Corporal Nobbs is hobnobbing with the nobs, and there's something really strange about the new dwarf recruit - especially his earrings and eyeshadow.
Who can you trust when there are mobs on the streets, plotters in the dark and all the clues point the wrong way?
Nevertheless, Sam Vimes has got to find out not only whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.
We don’t want to give anything away, but Vimes may find that the truth is not out there at all. In fact, it may be inside – but inside what? or should we say whom?

Feedback/Comments
Clever and entertaining. I was not familiar with the background of the books/characters prior but was still able to enjoy.
Entertaining and wacky!
A quirky interesting story, Well acted by the group some of whom had multiple roles .
Really entertaining
I loved the quirky sense of humour in this show as well as the diverse range of characters ranging from endearing to creepy! Thoroughly entertaining and better than I expected after trying to read about the story line and finding myself rather confused about how these quirky characters could possibly fit together in the same story! Somehow it just worked.
was an amazing play! well done by the cast & director!
