“It’s obvious that there was a huge amount of love for the script and Terry Pratchett from the cast and crew and they gave it their all.” – Better Than a Poke in the Eye

Adapted by Stephen Briggs. Directed by Amy Curson and Ellen Warren.

July 31st – August 3rd 2024, The Gate Arts Centre, Cardiff.

Poster for Peculiar Production's performance of Terry Pratchett's Feet of Clay, in the Gate Arts Centre in Cardiff from 31st July - 3rd August.

Peculiar Productions presents this performance of the classic Terry Pratchett novel – mystery, political subterfuge, a sprinkling of the supernatural, and things that go ‘bump’, ‘crash’ and ‘aaargh!’ in the night…

We’re delighted to announce that Feet of Clay raised £2,000 for Oasis Cardiff.

Reviews

The cast were all wonderful and the whole play was very well put together […] The solid direction means that the play moves along at a good pace and the audience was never bored […] Amateur dramatics at its best.
