I'm really enjoying it so far but it's a shame they can't make it a recording.

I've completely suspended my belief that this isn't a stage play

Really enjoyed that but Wazzer did manage to creep me out without actually saying anything!

Looks like it's not available any longer

Looks like it's not available any longer

They couldn't keep it as a recording, unfortunately, due to copyright according to one of the posts on the stream.

A group in the US performed a reading of "Monstrous Regiment" (Stephen Briggs's script). They called for volunteers to join the cast in the Terry Pratchett Facebook group, and it was aired "live" on Youtube. I did ask if it would be available for later viewing, but they said no, because of the rights agreements with Briggs and the Pratchett Estate/script publishers (Methuen, I believe). Heck, they were lucky to be allowed to do an internet performance at all!

I would have loved to have seen it (or even taken part), but their "airing" time was the middle of the night in Australia, because they tried to time it to have US and UK audiences.

Mixa - it was a production of Stephen Brigg's play - Monstrous Regiment. The players were on separate lines, Zoom calling their parts in. It was very creative.

What a shame we missed it. I'd have loved to have seen it.

Buggrit time differences hand and shrimp!
