Twelve o’clock and all is… well…

Guards! Guards!

Cry out for the city watch and English Theatre Utrecht will come!  

Every guard strives to bring law and order. However, the Night Watch of Ankh Morpork have been relegated to turning a blind eye to The Thievings Guild, who have been permitted a quota of legal crimes by the corrupt patrician. 

Is there hope for the city? One of the city’s many cults has the answer: summon a dragon! After all, if there’s a dragon, there's a king just around the corner to slay it; all the best prophecies say so! And if you can control a dragon, you can control whatever schmuck you can find to slay it.

Carrot, a fresh faced recruit, has travelled to Ankh Morpork after learning he is not a dwarf but merely raised by dwarves. Now he has to contend with his barely-passing-as-human coworkers who can barely decide what drink to order at the pub, let alone solve the string of arsons and dragon shaped footprints that are springing up around the city.

From the world of Terry Pratchett: Guards! Guards! Is considered by NPR to be the best entry point to the Discworld franchise. For any nerd or Anglophile, the works of this noted satirist are a must see experience; and with jokes that the whole family can laugh at, this fantasy themed farce is one you can't miss out on.
