In June 2021 we staged an (amateur) Zoom reading of Terry Pratchett’s “Monstrous Regiment” as adapted for the stage by Stephen Briggs.
Pratchett’s beloved riff on gender, war, and monstrousness seemed like the perfect thing to shake off our quarantine blues! Audiences joined us on June 5 at 1 PM EST for a lark, a laugh, and a cup of coffee with your favourite vampire.
This event was not-for-profit, and if viewers wish to express their appreciation, we would love for them to make a donation to the Orangutan Foundation in memory of Terry Pratchett.
