Theatreworks opens their season with 'Witch' written by Jen Silverman and directed by Caitlin Lowans.
A woman - who may be a witch - thinks fast when a man - who’s definitely the devil - comes knocking in this dark comedy based on a Jacobean classic.
Mischief is afoot in the sleepy village of Edmonton and the fate of the world is at stake in this smart modern fable. When the emotionally conflicted son of the local lord and an ambitious newcomer come into conflict, help presents itself to both of them in the same guise—as the Devil himself. But while these two young men take advantage of the Devil’s bargain to accomplish their own questionable ends, someone else in town stands her ground—Elizabeth, an outcast whom everyone believes to be a witch.
