Join us for this amateur production of Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch, adapted for stage by Stephen Briggs, and brought to stage as part of Cymera: Scotland’s Festival of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Writing 2026.

Following their sell-out shows of Guards! Guards! (2023), Men at Arms (2024) and Feet of Clay (2025), Strawmoddie Theatre are back!

Night Watch is the story of Sam Vimes, running hero of the Guards sequence, who finds himself cast back in time to the Ankh-Morpork of his youth. With a psychopath from his own time rising in the vile ranks of the Cable Street Unmentionables complicating things, Vimes has to ensure that history takes its course so that he will have the right future to go back to, and to keep his younger self alive.
