Wherever I go people are like “Oh there’s the witch of Edmonton”
they’re like “where are you going witch”
they’re like “my cow took sick, why’d you do that”
and then the whispering!
Say I’m in line at the well, with everybody else.
If I turn around, the whispering stops. Dead silence.
You don’t think I know what you’re saying about me?
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.
