1. Editorial

Welcome to issue 191. This month I have finally had a chance to read up and listen to the Johnny and the Bomb performance pack that I've been promising to review for a few months! I have also started reading The Science of Discworld 4 and will post a review of it next month providing my head doesn't explode in the meantime.

* * * * *

I forgot to mention it last month but 2013 is the 30th anniversary for Discworld. The Colour of Magic was released back in 1983 - when I was just 11 years old. We've all passed a lot of water since then!

* * * * *

The Discworld Monthly facebook group got a massive boost of new members this month when Lynsey (from Transworld) posted a link to Issue 190 on our web site from the Terry Pratchett facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pratchett). Over 700 new members joined the group bringing the total to over 4,500 members - and I thought the group was getting busy last month! I would like to welcome all our new members and thank our existing members for making it a vibrant place. If you want your Discworld Monthly fix between issues, make sure you visit.

The Daily Mirror recently published an interview with Rhianna Pratchett about the time she received the call from Terry telling her about being diagnosed with PCA. The interview is poignant and informative.

* * * * *

A promo for Terry Pratchett: Facing Extinction has been released. The documentary looks at whether there is a future for the Orangutan. But it also appears to be a much more personal documentary for Terry as he compares the Orangutan's future with his own fight with PCA. The documentary is due to be shown on BBC television in later this year.

The Discworld App finally got released this month - sadly for iPad only at the moment and only if said iPad is running iOS 6 which rules out earlier versions of the iPad. I don't own a tablet of any type so can't personally comment on the quality of the app. The lack of support of other platforms such as Android and Windows RT has caused a lot of negative feedback from fans. Transworld has released a short statement saying that they haven't ruled out looking at other platforms in the future.

The Guardian Newspaper does, however, have an iPad and wrote a review of the app. /url/APP191A

Futurebook also reviewed the app at: /url/APP191B

The Daytona News Journal also have a detailed review at: /url/APP191C

You can purchase the app from iTunes for 9.99 GBP - just go to iTunes and search for Discworld.

A video of someone using the app can been seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsNwrDoO_3s

A trailer for the app (with introduction by Terry) can also be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIg-Ji6io0U

Tim Haigh has released an interview he recorded with Terry back in 1995 when Maskerade was the latest Discworld novel. Terry talks about how some books will lend themselves to particular characters. It includes some fascinating insight.

* From: "Gerhard Uibel" guibel@gmx.de

Got to say this first: As a German I liked Dodger very much in account of the book being so well written, I quite enjoy the usage of the language. However, there are two things that came to my attention and subsequently led me to ask the question whether people from different cultural backgrounds might understand some aspects of the story:

One thing is the Punch and Judy show, which plays an important role in the book; I have a friend in the US of A who says she's never heard of something like it, you know what I mean?

In Germany we have something similar, but it is not similar in the way Punch behaves, so that would hardly let an average German understand that part of the plot. The German counterpart of Punch is a smart guy who solves problems and catches wrongdoers. (Maybe it doesn't matter, we're evil after all... ;) )

Secondly, the remark of the carriage driver when they get stuck at Picadilly Circus, that it is always the four-horse-carriages which cause the problems - I reckon that may be a reference to the little-loved bendy-busses in London, which mayor Boris Johnson has promised to get rid of a few years ago.

It is a pity how much is getting lost in translation, it occurred to me once again when we were watching part of the German version of Kenneth Branagh's Henry V today, I really do prefer the original whenever possible.

Regards from Germany (no princes left over here)

* From: "Jacqueline Simpson" simpsonworthing@yahoo.co.uk

Yes indeed, David Harris, the All Souls College custom of Hunting the Mallard once every hundred years is sublimely crazy, and perfectly true. And to read its equivalent in 'Unseen Academicals' gave me one of those hysterical laugh-aloud moments which are unseemly in a lady of my venerable years. I just adore it when I'm reading something of Terry's and a recognition dawns -- Is it? Can it be? Yes!! It is!!!

But you'll notice there's no Mallard Song at UU. I asked Terry why not, and it turned out he'd never known that there is one. So I told him the words (I don't know the tune), and when it came to the chorus 'Oh by the blood of King Edward' he asked sharply, 'Which King Edward? And what do kings have to do with it, anyway?' 'Nobody knows,' I said. 'Right,' said Terry happily, 'if nobody knows, then it's real folklore.'

Hello there. Tripped onto the site via facebook - great read and a good way to get my Discworld fill between novels.

Question related to games: Any discussions about a Discworld FLUXX game? FLUXX have used other iconic themes to make their chaotic card games, like Zombies and Pirates. I played the Monty Python version last night and my son and I agreed that Discworld would be a great fit.

* * * * *

* From: "Chris Gibson" chrgibson@yahoo.co.uk

My names Chris and I took my 13-year-old daughter to the first show of the Thief of Time. I always watch out for nearby plays from the Discworld fans, but sadly the last one I saw was Mort over 10 years ago near Gateshead.

The students did the story proud, and the casting was well done. The guy playing LaoTze did very well keeping the playful, know it all sage consistent throughout. He did extremely well given the number of lines he had. The auditor zombies got quite a few of the laughs, especially shaking the 'other person's' hand. Special mention has to go to the two lead auditors: we could emote with the nice lady auditor the evil one was suitably evil.

I didn't even realise that Jeremy and Lobsang were the same guy until well over the halfway point, and I'd forgotten how critical that was to the plot! His manic clockmaker was genuinely unhinged, yet Lobsang was played very calm and together. Unfortunately comedic timing beats acting kudos and the clear star of the show was Igor! From the moment he fell backwards out of his self-sealed box he provided the majority of the laughs. Admittedly the character is well ingrained in culture so the actor had a lot to draw on, but he was still great. Favourite joke was probably "in Uberwald you can't move for remote castles!", but Igors facial expressions whilst slavering his lines like Sylvester the cat saying "sufferin' suckcotach" got a laugh every time. For some reason there was a lot of spoon throwing and the audience loved it!

The ending seemed a little barer on stage and the mechanics of being chased or chasing obviously don't work as well in a play, but that is being very picky because I enjoyed it a lot.

I look forward to more local plays from these guys, bravo, encore!

* From: "Miss Mana" themuseinwillits@gmail.com

Recently my illness has caught up with me and I find myself back in bed as I usually do in the winter when it is harder for me to keep up and stay ahead of this affliction.

I was introduced to Discworld for the first time last weekend and I have to say I am in LOVE. I wonder where I have been all these years. At 53 surely you would think I would have heard of Terry Pratchett's work. I must have been living in a box or something.

Anyway with the pain and nausea reading these books takes me away from my present place and puts me in touch with a far better reality these days.

Can you send me a concise list of the order in which one might set out to read this amazing collection. Thank you for offering me a key to walk out of this world and into another.

DWM replies: We maintain a list of Terry's novels at: http://discworldmonthly.co.uk/tpbooks.php

* From: "Olivia Caris" omcaris@yahoo.com

Five years ago(?) I asked if there was any way I could participate by doing SOMETHING / ANYTHING in America (New Jersey and South Carolina) to come up to snuff with other Pratchettians everywhere else on the planet. Still nada, zilch, nyet(?). I know of none other than myself and maybe a few out in the west country.

Isn't there some way we can do something to get our names up in lights as fellow hardcore fans? Articles, reviews, soap operas?

Can you at least tell me where to find others like myself so we can get together and have our own ...Fest? I'm open to having you distribute my email address to other fans that want to get together in NJ or SC and discuss how we can better participate and be a part of the Pratchett family. Maybe even plan a trip over to meet our 'cousins'? I'm know we would all love to meet Terry before he retires for good, just to show him our love and appreciation for all the joy and entertainment his novels have brought into our lives over the years.

DWM replies: Can anyone help? Are there other fans in New Jersey and South Carolina? Maybe you can start your own branch of The Broken Drummers?


4. DiscTrivia

This month I've opened Turtle Recall at random pages and found a question from each page visited. Some are easy, some are quite hard. Well at least I think they are ...

Q1.
What colour is a Rimfisher?
Q2.
What is the name of the Archancellor of Bugarup University?
Q3.
Vorbis is the head of Inquisition in which city?
Q4.
Who is Morecombe?
Q5.
What relation is Lezek to Mort?

The (hopefully correct) answers can be found at the end of this issue.


5. Review: Johnny and the Bomb - Complete Performance Pack

Reviewed by Jason Anthony

It's twelve months since I reviewed The Amazing Maurice - Complete Performance pack and this time I've got Johnny and the Bomb to review.

The pack consists of a large script book, a pull out score with piano music and a CD containing 28 tracks. The first 21 are for the performance (some are musical numbers and others are sound effects) the last seven are rehearsal versions of the musical tracks with vocals to help the cast to learn the words.

The musical is designed to be performed by upper primary school children or lower secondary school students. It has a large cast of 26 + two sets of extras one each for the two time zones (1996 and 1941).

The performance is split into seven scenes. The script starts with an outline of the scenes with details of who should be on the stage and what props will be required. It also lists which tracks on the CD will be needed.

It goes on to talk about staging suggestions. A nice idea is the 1941 cast always come in from the left and the 1996 cast come in from the right.

Next is a section dedicated to costume ideas for the cast. Some of the ideas are simple one liners such as "90's top with jeans and trainers" whereas other require a paragraph or two to capture the character.

The book then goes onto the script itself. There is a CD track indicator to let you know when sound effects or music is to be played and scene descriptions as well as the song lyrics, stage directions and of course the dialogue.

The dialogue, songs and adaptation appear to capture the core story of the book really well. Obviously a lot has to be taken out to fit the story into the time allowed but the essence of the book is still there. Much like the television adaptation from a few years ago.

The songs are well written and each serves to set a scene or tell the audience about a character. The first song Put The Lights Out, for example, gives a good impression of the fear and paranoia of the risk of being bombed. The actor playing Mrs Tachyon will probably enjoy performing the rap in the middle of her song.

Once again as a parent of children in the age groups this is aimed at I have my reservations how well they would be able to perform this musical. It appears to be slightly ambitious. I would love to go to a production and see how well it works.

It is worth noting that if you did want to perform this musical as well as purchasing this pack you must obtain a performance licence from A&C Black. The performance licences seem to be reasonably priced.

The pack itself costs 26.99 GBP and can be obtained from: /url/BOMB191A


6. Competition: PJSM Prints - Result

The lovely people from PJSM Prints donated a framed sepia print (of the winner's choice) as a wonderful competition prize for us last month.

We asked the following question:

Q. Who are the largest and smallest members of the City Watch?

The answer we were looking for was:

Detritus and Buggy Swires.

A lot of people gave Lance-Constable Bluejohn as an alternative to Detritus and many people gave Wee Mad Arthur as an alternative to Buggy Swires.

We therefore decided to accept any of the following combinations:

- Detritus and Buggy Swires
- Bluejohn and Buggy Swires
- Detritus and Wee Mad Arthur
- Bluejohn and Wee Mad Arthur

The randomly selected winners is Claire Wilson from Essex, England who chose the Greebo design.

You can find out more about the sepia cards and sepia frames at:

We would like to thank PJSM prints for the wonderful prize.
