Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.
Unseen Theatre Company's award-winning inaugural production is back by popular demand! In 2000, Mort won both critical acclaim and the Light Year Award for Best Costumes. Director Pamela Munt decided on a return season as a direct result of the insistence of Unseen's fans.
The story is based on the novel by Terry Pratchett, British author of the immensely popular comedy-fantasy Discworld series. Here Death, the Grim Reaper, finds what he thinks is the perfect apprentice in the shape of Mort. Unfortunately Mort is a romantic. He cannot bear to harvest the soul of beautiful Princess Keli. Through his naivety, he manages to alter the whole balance of time and reality. His appeals to wizards, talking doorknockers and even to Death's daughter Ysabell avail him not at all. Death himself must return from his "day off" and step into the breach to save the Discworld.
