Acme is proud to present our winter mainstage play:

Witch

by Jen Silverman

Directed by

Emily Henderson and Wren Arellano-Calderon

Synopsis:

Feeling hopeless? What if you could enact any change in exchange for your soul? 

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 dancing son of the local lord and an ambitious village upstart 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. 

 

This is a queer and feminist retelling of the classic Jacobean drama, “The Witch of Edmonton,” written by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker, and John Ford in 1621 and based on a real-life witchcraft trial that took place at the time.

Join us for this sharp, subversive, quick-witted fable that debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.
