When the Felmets commission a play to discredit the witches and the late King Verence, all does not go as planned.
An animated version of one of Terry Pratchett's most popular 'Discworld' novels. Three witches gather on a wet and windy moor, a ghost visits his son and tells him of his own murder, and the son plans a play to reveal the truth. Seems familiar? Well, the inhabitants of this odd land (a turtle travels through space with four elephants on its back who carry the flat world) play out a story that comically mixes elements of 'Hamlet' and 'The Scottish Play'. Also featuring Death, the orangutan librarian and the crusty old witch Nanny Weatherax.
