WITCH by Jen Silverman

Thursday, March 4 - Sunday, March 7, 2027

Directed by Amy Steiger

What do you want so deeply you would sell your soul to get it? When a young, attractive devil arrives in a small, semi-rural town, this is his pitch. When he approaches Elizabeth Sawyer, an outcast everyone says is a witch, she is surprisingly difficult to persuade, and he is forced to return to her cottage again and again. Meanwhile, the shy Morris-dancer son of the town’s aging patriarch, a young and ambitious working-class man named Frank, and the patriarch’s servant named Winnifred find their lives turned upside down as the devil’s offer forces them to navigate their own deepest desires. Jen Silverman’s comic riff on the Jacobian play The Witch of Edmonton asks us to consider where we find hope when everything has become a transaction and people are cast out from community.
