Come and see The Magic of Terry Pratchett

UK author Marc Burrows released his biography "The Magic of Terry Pratchett" in 2020, to great success, and it even won a Locus award. He then turned it into a show, which started at the Edinburgh Fringe and has toured all over the UK, performing to over 12000 people.

This is in addition to the performances of Night Watch (Emerald, Vic) and The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Huonville, Tas) that took place in July and August.

When shall we... two hundred meet again?

It's now been a month since Nullus Anxietas 9. We hope that everyone that attended has had a chance to recover, relax and get back to "real life" which is a lot less fun than Discworld.
