Witch

A devil, a deal, and a woman who won’t play by the rules.

A charming devil strolls into the quiet village of Edmonton, ready to strike a deal—your soul in exchange for your deepest desire. Easy enough. But when he sets his sights on Elizabeth, long ostracized as a “witch,” she refuses to be bought. Darkly funny, subversive, and razor-sharp, Witch is a wickedly modern take on a Jacobean drama, where power is up for grabs, survival is a gamble, and the devil might just be the most honest one in the room. Don’t miss the Canadian premiere of Jen Silverman’s critically acclaimed play.

Though based on a play from 1621, Jen Silverman’s dark comedy so intuitively illustrates how women are often seen and treated, regardless of time or place…this work stares directly at the women in the audience, and it truly sees them.
