Terry Pratchett in the South Pacific

[taabe]

I've been offered tickets to see Terry Pratchett's 'Nation' in HD (on screen) by the national Theatre Company in London — the play's in London; the broadcast's here — on Saturday afternoon. Anyone want to come? It's a gorgeous book; I know that much. Two teenagers, Mau and Daphne, are stranded together on an island after a tsunami destroys his village, her ship and the surrounding islands. She delivers a baby. He milks a pig and out-bellows a shark. They begin to rebuild.

Anyway, it amazes me the exciting things I don't know are here, even though it's my job to know.
