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."

The Cranbourne Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS) are postponing their production of Men at Arms due to a number of circumstances. The run was scheduled for the 26th, 27th and 28th of this month (October 2017) but will now be rescheduled.

Pat McBryde Fletcher of CADS wrote to say, "After experiencing some technical and logistical problems we found there would no longer be time to give the polished performances that the play demands and for that reason we have decided to postpone the production. This play will be re-scheduled for early 2018 and the date will be decided and circulated as soon as possible... having invested such a lot of time, effort and financial outlay over recent months, we feel strongly that we want to continue and bring this production to fruition."

Wossname wishes CADS every success in their production, as they have shown an admirable level of dedication already!
