Wyrd Sisters - And I Would Have Gotten Away With It Too, If It Wasn’t For Those Meddling Witches

Teaching My Cat To Read: The “very serious” Book Review Podcast

In this episode, we go back to the Discworld to discuss the book “Wyrd Sisters”, by Terry Pratchett. The second book in the Witches series, “Wyrd Sisters” parodies and satires “Macbeth, by William Shakespeare” (which we discuss in the episode after this one).

In the episode, we discuss which character would be the only human in the muppets adaptation, critique on theatre, our favourite metaphor (feat. “the fool jingled miserably across the floor”)

Book Blurb:

“Three witches on a lonely heath. A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing.

Witches don’t have these kinds of leadership problems themselves – in fact, they don’t have leaders.

Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don’t have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe. Particularly when the blood on your hands just won’t wash off . . .”
