Description

Its the night before Hogswatch. And its too quiet. Superstition makes things work in the Discworld, and undermining it can have consequences. Its just not right to find Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say Ho Ho Ho Its the last night of the year, the time is turning, and if Susan, gothic governess and Deaths granddaughter (sort of), doesnt sort everything out by morning, there wont be a morning. Ever again Adapted by Terry Pratchett's long-time collaborator Stephen Briggs, this play text version of Pratchett's bestselling Discworld novel Hogfather wittily and faithfully reimagines the story for the stage.
