“AS the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked: ‘When shall we three meet again?’ There was a pause. Finally another voice said, in a far more ordinary tone: ‘Well, I can do next Tuesday?’”

Castaway returns to the stage this February with their latest theatrical instalment: Terry Pratchett’s Wyrd Sisters.

From the late author of the ever-famous Discworld novels comes a play on Shakespeare’s world of Macbeth in a wonderfully wyrd world of witches and hilarity.

King Verence I of Lancre is murdered by his cousin, Felmet, after his ambitious wife persuades him it must be done.

The king’s crown and child are given away by an escaping servant to three witches upon a Heath (where else?).

The witches hand the child to a troupe of travelling actors and hide the crown in the props box. They trust in destiny to take its course... with, perhaps, a little bit of meddlin’ from the wyrd sisters themselves!

Wyrd Sisters is being performed at Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s Theatr-y-Werin on Friday and Saturday, 5 and 6 February, at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from the Aberystwyth Arts Centre box office.

This production is dedicated to the memory of the late David Blumfield. A member of Castaway for many years and artistic director of the community theatre company for the past 18 years, David sadly passed away late October.

This production will be a celebration of everything he enjoyed.

Barrie Stott directs, with John Sylvester as musical director.
