WYRD SISTERS is an adaptation by Stephen Briggs of one of the best and most
theatrical in the hugely entertaining series of comic Discworld fantasies written by Sir Terry Pratchett.

BAWDS are planning to stage it at the ADC Theatre in April 2013 - dates to be confirmed - with Barry Brown directing.

It is a comic mash-up of pantomime, Monty Python, fairy tale and Shakespeare,
