I have read both the play and the book however I have to say the book was better. As shown in my review of the book I commented that there is not as much humour included as what Pratchett usually includes in a parody style. The play version seems to have lost what little humour the book originally had.

I would not recommend the play. If you are determined to read it, I suggest the book.

This was a brilliant play - putting it on stage can be a tad complex as its got quite a large cast. But I enjoyed reading it and am encouraged to read more Terry Pratchet books!
