Harry Potter may have given us all a better understanding of what life must be like at a public boarding school (although we're still not really sure what "Fagging the prefect" means), but has J K Rowling taught us anything about living in Ankh Morpork?  The lost continent of XXXX?  The 5th Elephant?  No.  For that we have had to rely on Terry Pratchett over the years.

But "what of the people who can't read his excellent books?" I hear you ask.  The people who have super-glued the palms of their hands together and can no-longer hold a novel.... The people who have accidentally learnt to read in the wrong language.... The untold millions who have an irrational fear of page-numbers.  Well, worry no longer, as Terry Pratchetts work can now be seen on the stage!

York based theatre company, 'The Dreaming' will be doing an adaptation of Terry Pratchetts novel 'Eric'.  The book has been adapted for stage by Scott Harrison and Lee Harris, and will play from 3rd - 26th of July.  It will be held in a real 13th Century Castle in the heart of York.

Tickets and more information are available at the official website at http://www.thedreaming.co.uk or by telephone on 01904 62 87 87.
