* GOOD OMENS IN WOLLONGONG, FOURECKS (MAY)
Amazon Prime may have the big-budget version of Good Omens, but the MerrigongX theatre company has the musical!
"An apocalyptically atypical new musical based on the novel by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman. Music & Lyrics by Vicki Larnach. Book by Jim Hare, Jay James-Moody & Vicki Larnach. Based on the novel by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. The armies of good and evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, fish are falling, and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. A fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not looking forward to the impending rapture. They team up to circumvent the end of days but there is one problem. Someone seems to have misplaced the Anti-Christ."

It’s the Century of the Fruitbat and modernisation and diversity have come to the Night Watch. The original Watch – Captain Vimes, Sergeant Colon, Corporal Carrot and Corporal Nobbs –are joined by some new recruits, selected to reflect the city’s ethnic make-up – Lance Corporal Detritus a troll, Lance-constables Cuddy (little known fact both male and females have beards and the female of the species is the dominant one). Certainly, unbeknown to the recruiting office of the Watch with a diversity quota to fill. So, he was desperate for a female recruit when Angua turned up (she is a bit more diverse then most as she is werewolf). A fact the recruiter was also unaware of..."
