Synopsis: |
'Unseen Academicals' Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork. And now the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too). As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed forever. Because the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football. Here we go! Here we go! Here we go! 'Feet of Clay' For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by, well, more troubling times. Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble.The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene. So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers. 'The Rince Cycle' (an adventure based on the early Rincewind books). One of Pratchett's most popular and enduring characters Rincewind is a failed student at the Unseen University for Wizards in Ankh-Morpork, and is often described by scholars as 'the magical equivalent to the number zero'. He spends just about all his time running away from various bands of people who want to kill him for various reasons. Born with a wizard's spirit, he luckily also has the body of a long-distance sprinter, so has managed to stay alive over thirty novels, his most famous characteristic being able to solve minor problems by turning them into major disasters. The Rince Cycle mashes his best moments into a two hour show. |
