The Unseen Theatre Company Presents Sir Terry Pratchett's MONSTROUS
REGIMENT.
Adapted by Stephen Briggs
Directed by Pamela Munt
Women of the world unite! A call to arms that will have you laughing
your socks off! John Knox (well known Protestant Reformer of the 16th
Century) is turning in his grave! His view that women are "weak, pale,
impatient, feeble, foolish, inconstant, variable, cruel and lacking the
spirit of counsel and regiment" is about to be exposed for exactly what
it is - MONSTROUS!
It may have taken five centuries since Knox wrote his essay entitled
"The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of
Women", as well as the enormous satirical wit of Sir Terry Pratchett,
for Unseen Theatre Company to blow its own first blast of the trumpet,
but here we are, ready to do battle with our own Monstrous Regiment, led
by - you guessed it - a girl!
Polly Perks has to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and
wearing trousers is easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk
like an ape takes more time... but nothing is going to stop her enlisting
in the Borogravian Army to search for her lost brother. The fact that
there's a war on and their side's coming off worse doesn't scare her.
Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without
any training. All that the bunch of new recruits has on their side is
the most artful sergeant in the army, a vampire with a lust for coffee,
a troll, an Igor, and a readiness to fight dirty. As they take the war
to to the heart of the enemy, they will need all the resources of the
Monstrous Regiment.
