Description: Jen Silverman's Witch is a sharp, subversive, and wickedly funny play that turns a Jacobean classic on its head.
A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton with a simple offer: your soul for your deepest wish. The townspeople are quick to line up, but he finds an unexpected challenge in Elizabeth, an outcast whom everyone already believes to be a "witch." Unlike the others, her soul is not for sale. As this unlikely pair—the clever devil and the woman with nothing to lose—spar and flirt, the play explodes with dark humor and incisive wit. A modern fable for a cynical age, Witch asks a timeless question: what is the price of a soul, and what is its true value when hope is so hard to find? Prepare for a smart and spellbinding play that casts an intoxicating spell and debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.
