#NationalStorytellingWeek Adult community theatre group, The Proteans, put on an Autumn show every year and have retold many well-loved tales over the years. In 2022, The Proteans produced, adapted and performed Guards! Guards! the 1989 novel, the eighth in the Discworld series, by Terry Pratchett. Their performances carry the story through a magical world in which huge and changing sets, animatronics and technology are not needed to transport an audience into the world in which the story is being told.
