LORDS & LADIES

by Sir Terry Pratchett adapted by Irana Brown

A Globe Theatre Community Production by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd. and The Play Bureau

On Midsummer Night, anything is possible and the night is powerful. So powerful, in fact, that dreams may become reality. But the walls of reality are important, and there are some walls you really (really) don’t want to break down.

The Globe Theatre Dunedin third production of 2025 is bursting at the seams with kooky characters and mystical creatures. Directed by Sofie Welvaert, this book to stage adaptation of Lords and Ladies by beloved author Terry Pratchett will truly have you on the edge of your seat. 

Venture back to Discworld with the eccentric Nanny Ogg (Laura Wells), the ominous Granny Weatherwax (Maegan Stedman-Ashford) and the tiny-yet-mighty Magrat Garlick (Brenna Fields). The witches have returned to Lancre, only to find their home overrun by the dreaded Elves! And even in a world of wizards, trolls, dwarves, Morris dancers – and the odd orangutan – they’re spectacularly nasty creatures. 

Will the Witches save the day from the looming threat beyond the wall? Perhaps they will enlist some old friends (enemies) to help (and a spot of dried frog pills). You’ll just have to come along to The Globe this September to find out.

Featuring an all-local cast of stellar performers, an inventive set and costume package designed by Director Sofie Welvaert that will take you straight to Lancre, and even some life size puppets.

Expect a humorous romp in the woods to the magic circle as audience and cast alike head through this adventurous and fantastical story.
