Join us for our next RSS Alive! event: Agatha Christie – The Most Successful Female Playwright of All Time.

Agatha Christie is world-renowned for her novels and characters, but her extraordinary contribution to the stage is less well known. Drawing on his acclaimed book Agatha Christie: A Life in Theatre, Dr Julius Green explores the prolific playwright behind the mysteries – and the woman who became the world’s most successful female dramatist.

📆 Monday 21 September, 7.45pm
📍Mary Wallace Theatre

Meet your (ever so reluctant) Discworld heroes… 🌍✨

Roundworld is in trouble! Evil elves threaten to enslave all of humankind. But fear not – this motley bunch are here to save the day…

🧙‍♂️ Mustrum Ridcully: Archchancellor of Unseen University. Firm believer that most problems can be solved with a big stick, a loud voice, or preferably both.

🧙‍♀️ Granny Weatherwax: Powerful witch, formidable presence and absolutely not someone you want to disappoint.

🔮 Ponder Stibbons: The clever wizard. The one desperately trying to make sense of everyone else’s questionable decisions. Someone has to read the instructions…

🐺 Captain Angua: Captain of the Watch, capable detective and werewolf. Particularly handy when the case requires an excellent sense of smell.

🖥️ Hex: Unseen University’s magical thinking device. Proof that even in a world powered by magic, you can still make things unnecessarily complicated with a sufficiently large computer.

And last, (and very certainly, least)

🥔 Rincewind: An inept wizard with a fondness for potatoes and one truly exceptional talent: survival. His philosophy is simple: if something looks dangerous, run away…

See how our heroes fare in Terry Pratchett’s , playing 12-19 September.
