The Sea and Little Fishes
A witty and whimsical Discworld™ tale where Granny Weatherwax must outsmart the meddling Letice Earwig.
Presented By Pushing Up As Part Of The Empire's Homegrown Independent Program
#humorous yet sympathetic satire
The big sea does not care which way the little fishes swim… an ancient and prophetic aphorism from Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld™. Also a description of Granny Weatherwax by her best friend, confidante and sometime competitor, Nanny Ogg, and the inspiration for the title of this work. As with all Sir Terry’s Discworld stories, The Sea and Little Fishes humorously yet sympathetically satirises the characters – people we could imagine in our own lives – and the circumstances they create. Granny must get the better of the controlling, Letice Earwig*. But it seems there’s nothing she can do… So how will she do nothing? Watch this play and find out.
*It’s pronounced Ah-wij, thank you very much.
