Overview: Prepare to be spellbound by this sharp and subversive fable, where the boundaries between good and evil blur. In the quaint village of Edmonton, a mysterious figure with devilish charm appears offering to fulfill the deepest desires of its inhabitants. Elizabeth, a woman ostracized by the village and labeled a “witch,” should prove an easy target, but what unfolds is a captivating dance igniting unexpected passions and forging unlikely alliances. In this modern twist on a classic Jacobean drama, witness the transformation of a community grappling with the value of their souls in times of adversity.

This play contains adult subject matter and violence, and is not recommended to those under the age of 13.

Witch runs 90 minutes with no intermission.

Witch is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
