UNSEEN ACADEMICALS

This rambunctious ensemble production is an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's 37th Discworld novel. An oddly polite stranger, portrayed by Keith Wickham, arrives in the grimy capital city of Ankh-Morpork. He's just in time to help rewrite the rules of soccer, introduce a gorgeous young woman to the world of dwarfian fashion modeling, eat a few pies, and, of course, skewer the fine traditions of stuffy, old universities. The versatile David Jason leads a stellar cast of top-notch British comic actors as vampires plot, trolls stand their ground, and romance blossoms. The music and sound effects are imaginative and spot-on. There's plenty of cheering throughout and plenty to cheer about in this fast-paced satirical production. B.P.
