Goodwives and the Gallows brings together two original scripts that dramatize the full experience of the 17th century Connecticut Witchcraft Panics
Panic in Connecticut; Accused Witches Have Their Say, written by Virginia Wolf, brings to life five women accused of witchcraft in 17th century Connecticut, giving a full perspective on the time and experience.
The Last Night imagines Mary Barnes and Rebecca Greensmith, jailed together the night before their hanging for witchcraft. It’s the hearts and souls of two women accused and hanged. It was originally performed as a commissioned reading at the Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington, CT on January 25, 2023 and won an Award of Merit from the CT League of History Organizations.
Together, these two plays provide historical fact and insight, begging us to examine and understand how the witchcraft panics occurred, how they were experienced by the women affected...and how we can fight against witch hunts of all kinds today.
