After a fantastic, sold out run of Wyrd Sisters in 2024, we’re delighted to announce Vision Arts return to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld this year with Men At Arms! The play takes place in Ankh Morpork as we join the Night Watch in their deadliest case yet, this foe is mechanical and heartless to boot, it kills without compunction, it is the first gun on the Discworld!
