It's Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble but with a few witches who have been doing it so long that the novelty has worn off and they are ready to get on with it. Granny Weatherwax (intolerant, self-opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down-to-earth, vulgar), and Magrat Garlick (naïve, fond of occult jewellery and bunnies). And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction? Three witches. It’s all there – a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, and a Land in peril.
This particular story from Discworld is where Terry Pratchett takes Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Hamlet and some others in between and then turns them up ’till they reach eleven. Each story is a humorous standalone reflection of something we have in our society, shone back at the audience with wit and Monty Python-style humour. Discworld is a flat earth that sits on the backs of four giant elephants that stand on the back of a giant turtle that swims through space. Terry Pratchett is famous for his comedy fantasy series set in a place called Discworld.
