On this day in 1991, the very first stage adaptation of a @terryandrob book was performed by the Studio Theatre Club in Oxford, UK.
Discworld productions have taken place ever since & you can find where they are being staged in 2026 on our website.

Cutangle: While I'm still confused and uncertain, it's on a much higher plane, d'you see, and at least I know I'm bewildered about the really fundamental and important facts of the universe.
Treatle: I hadn't looked at it like that, but you're absolutely right. He's really pushed back the boundaries of ignorance.
They both savoured the strange warm glow of being much more ignorant than ordinary people, who were only ignorant of ordinary things.

There was another silence while they stared at one another, nose to nose, but this silence was a whole quantum level of animosity higher than the last one; you could have roasted a turkey in the heat of this silence.

Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I’ll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I’m not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard…
But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.

Has anyone else NOT received their copy of @GoodOmensHQ Graphic novel yet ?
Seems really odd to see that the independent bookshops are selling them, yet some of us Kickstarter backers haven't received our copy yet.
Is it because we backed more than just the book?

Happy #TerryPratchettDay !
Today would have been Terry's 77th birthday, and tonight many of us will be in London for a special version of The Magic of Terry Pratchett show to celebrate our favourite author.
How are you celebrating Terry today?
