WITCH

Wherever I go, people are like:

“Oh there’s the witch of Edmonton.”

they’re like “you made my cow sick, you made my thatch burn”

I’m like a disease that only I seem to have caught.

I’m like a plague of locusts that’s just one locust.

And the whispering!

Say I’m in line at the well.

If I turn around, the whispering stops. Dead silence.

But somehow it always starts up again.

The village thinks old Elizabeth is a witch. But when a charming, affable Devil arrives, only Elizabeth—not the rich young man devoted to Morris dancing (and another, secret thing); not his ruthlessly ambitious adopted brother; not the village girl he’s stringing along—only Elizabeth cannot be tempted . . . maybe.

And maybe that’s what the Devil can’t resist.

If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “Maybe it’s time to burn it all down and start fresh”—then this is the play for you.: Jen Silverman’s darkly funny and very modern take on the 1621 Jacobean play The Witch of Edmonton.

The HPT production features Chase Brewer, Katherine Catmull, Jon Cook, Steve Guntli, Amara Johnson, and Rupert Reyes. Directed by Ken Webster.

All shows start at 8:00 PM and run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tickets available soon!
