Commander Samuel Vimes is back!
But back where? That is the question he needs answered.

The past catches up with us all. But never so quickly as when we go back in time to confront it. Terry Pratchett fans will remember that the last time we saw Sam Vimes in Unseen Theatre Company's production of "The Fifth Elephant" we left him having some of his rough edges polished off by his new wife Lady Sybil.

Vimes' marriage had made him a Duke. His heroism had promoted him to Commander of the City Watch. Not only that, but Sybil was expecting their first child.

Commander Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had it all. But now he's back in his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck.

Living in the past is hard. Dying in the past is incredibly easy. But he must survive, because he has a job to do. He must track down a murderer, teach his younger self how to be a good copper and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. There is, of course a problem. After all - this is Ankh-Morpork we are talking about! If he wins, he's got no wife, no child and no future.

"Night Watch" is a Discworld Tale of One City, with a full cast of street urchins, ladies of negotiable affection, rebels, Unmentionables (read secret policemen), zombies and other children of the revolution.

Director Pamela Munt has assembled a fine cast of old and new members of Unseen Theatre Company including George Leaman as Sam Vimes and Andrew Dowling (who was nominated for the Critic's Circle Awards 2003) as the "evil dude" Carcer.

She is also very excited about the set design for this show with which she hopes to create a real "Discworld/Ankh-Morporkian" street atmosphere.

Tracey Watchman and Alix Revel appear as "The Agony Aunts" led by their "Madam" Merri Brown as Rosie Palm. These experienced actors will lead a large cast of new young "recruits" who are almost as eager to accomplish their task of entertaining you as "The City Watch" is to win their never ending battle against the evil characters of The Shades.

Some Reviewers Comments from Previous Unseen Theatre Company Productions:-
